I just recently defaulted on a 12 months office lease, I had 7 months remaining, and I was contacted by an attorney representing the Landlord in which they offer me to pay the remaining balance of $3,500 plus on monthly payments which will take me about 3 years to pay for, but I feel that the landlord will rent the office space in no more than 3 months so they will collect the money from me and new tenant, I don't have a lump sum to negotiate any agreement other than no more than $125 per month, any suggestions in what I could do, what are my rigths, obviousley my business failed, the lease was under an LLC but I signed a personal guarantee also, should I let the landlord filed a judgment, will I have to pay less that way? I have not been able to find any Florida Statues or info, do they have just the right to collect what they loose if they are not leasing the office?
I do not like the following in the contract:
In the event of Default, OSP shall be entitled to file a lawsuit against DEBTORS and shall be entitled to obtain a Final Summary Judgment in that lawsuit in its favor and against DEBTORS, solely based upon this Settlement Stipulation, for the full principal sum of $3,549.33, less any payments received, plus pre-judgment interest at the statutory rate allowable by law, per annum, since the date of the original default which gave rise to this Stipulation, as well as all costs involved in the filing of the suit and reasonable attorney's fees to be determined by the Court.
