Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Selling a corporation

I want to sell my corporation by selling ownership of stock. Does the landlord have the right to the new buyer's personal financial statement? And does the landlord have the right to require the new buyer to have a guarantor? These are problems we are encountering with the landlord.
