Is there a law required by pa that landlord needs to replace the commercial hvac unit?

Answered 8 years and 8 months ago by Michael Edward Fiffik (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
the answer to this question is probably in the terms of your lease.  I've seen responsbility for the HVAC unit in a commercial lease allocated to tenants or to landlords.  It just depends on the situation.

A few days after Plaintiffโ€™s Motion for Summary judgment, Defendant submitted a First request for admissions.

Answered 8 years and 10 months ago by Michael Edward Fiffik (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer

if my commercial lease ran out in pa but the landlord accepted my rent with a signed agreement is this binding?

Answered 12 years and 6 months ago by Glenn J. Smith (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
To properly answer your question, it is necessary to review the terms of the written lease, as many leases will address exactly what happens upon the expiration of the initial term.  If I may be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my office.
