I have a question about the legality of a current commercial lease. My father rents office space in a building and is on a two year lease currently. I share that office space with him two days a week, but we are not business partners or associates, we have completely separate businesses. My father does business under his name and is infact licensed (business license) under that name. My business license shows my legal dba name.
The question about the lease is due to the following:
1. The lease is made in the name of my business dba
2. My name is not on the lease
3. The lease does not show my father's name which is his business name.
4. My father signed the lease made out to my business name.
5. I have never signed the lease, nor was I presented with one to sign.
We are trying to expand and need to get out of this lease which the landlord has refused to allow. We have one full year left on the lease. Any help is appreciated.
