I originally posted my question here: Responsibility of Repairs
I'm posting here where I can upload my leases and hope that somebody can advise me accordingly.
I own a restaurant that is built into a hotel. The hotel is owned separately, but they are also my landlord for this restaurant space. On the roof of the hotel are several AC units that feed only into my rental space, none of it to the hotel or hotel rooms (the rooms have their own individual wall units, so no need for roof units there). Three of these roof units appear to be non-functioning (and 1 of them is a critical one as it feeds into my dry food storage and the employee restroom).
Another issue is that in the drop ceiling in my kitchen above a food-prep station, there is water dripping. Plumbing is not exactly in my repertoire, but I believe a tear in the insulation is causing condensation to drip down; I believe simply repairing the insulation is the fix for this issue.
All the repairmen in my issue charge for diagnosis, and that money does NOT go towards cost of repairs, so I'm putting off calling anybody out until I know who is responsible for paying. My leases don't appear to assign responsibility for repairs, but I'm also not a lawyer. Any help in informing me whether the responsibility of repairs falls to me or falls to the landlord would be greatly appreciated. I've attached the lease for the previous owners (Hog Wild Brews) as well as the addendum which releases them and transfers the lease to myself.
Thank you!
