Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Commercial Lease -Notice to Quit

I lease commercial space where I operate a fish market. A recent inspection by the building dept identified several structural and other issues that need to be resolved. A day later my landlord's attorney sent a letter giving me 48 hours to submit a letter agreeing to remedy all issues -even though some of the issues are related to other areas of the building,including his business.

The next day I received a Notice to Quit from his attorney informing me that my lease is being terminated next week -June 1st. My question - what recourse do I have? Can he really terminate my lease without a hearing? or court proceeding? Thanks for your help...

You need an attorney. Your business is on the line. Do not fool around with this. Go find an attorney who goes to court on a regular basis, and who handles commercial litigation. Ask the attorney how many commercial lease cases the attorney has taken into court. Get experience.

Good luck to you. Your landlord is insanely agressive.
