Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia
I am currently in a commercial lease that I was trying to establish a food business in. About three months into the lease the landlord found out that we can no longer have a food establishment at this location (he found out from the city). We as tenants renting the space were still going through trying to get the place ready and get licenses, so we did not find out from the city until 10 months into the lease. Shouldn't the landlord had made us aware of this information when he found out? Also I believe it was a breach on his behalf because the reason we can no longer have a food establishment at that location is because he rented another space in the plaza to a restaurant which is taking up more than half of the septic tank space available. Hope this is enough information. Thank you

The answer is going to depend on the language in the lease itself. It sounds like there is a good chance the landlord is in breach of the lease agreement, but the exact answer and any potential remedies are likely going to be set forth in the lease. As such, you should have a local business attorney review it and advise accordingly.
