We had a 1 year lease for our warehouse and expanded very quickly. We're about to sign a lease on a larger place. I asked realtor for current place if we could do 30 day notice and pay 3 month penalty to get out of our lease. We have 6 months left, so we'd move out at 5 months left and pay 3/5. He said via email that yes LL agrees to that.
I email him yesterday and said we want to exercise that agreement and sign it ASAP so we can do April 1st moveout. No response. Call him today, he says he'll get to it early next week. I tell him that would be too late if we were sticking to the "30 day notice". He starts to get annoyed and says I can get my own lawyer to draft it. I say sure, who do I send it to so it'll get signed quicker.... he mutters for a second and say that won't actually speed it up. WHAT LOL.
He was being extremely friendly a few days earlier when the idea of me resigning with them was still on the table, shocking!
It sounds like he's going to try to delay it and/or simply not give it to me now that he knows I'll be in another lease and they have nothing to gain by the gesture of letting me out a bit early.
Is the email of him saying LL agrees to those terms binding in any way? Like, if I go ahead and sign this new lease under the presumption that I was given information they'd be executing on the early termination clause, do I have any recourse?
If he ends up giving the agreement to me on the 3rd and saying "oh yeah sorry you have to stay until May 1st now", do I just have to suck it up and pay the extra month?
