    Default How to Enforce a Landlord-Subtenant Agreement

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Missouri

    I was suppose to take possession of a building that is currently be ran as an antique mall. I am not running my business as an antique mall, instead just going to do sales out of the building on a monthly bases.

    Is it a breech of contract for the landlord to allow the current tenant to have an auction in the very building and on the very day i am suppose to take over the building which is the 15th, which btw is tomorrow??? i listed some infomation below but the bottom line is i didnt agree to do this unless the current tenant signed my sublease which states the rental agreement amount...release of liability....and the condition of the property which was simply clean it up....the current tenant wont sign it because the landlord told him he didnt have to becuase it isnt my building (that was his words)...and that is what the current tenant just told me about 15 minutes ago the post below was posted a little earlier
    i cant get the landlord to answer the phone so i dont know what to do but at this point i dont even want to lease from this shister....but i would like to recover what i paid for the rent and the deposit..is that possible?

    My problem is this....

    the current tenant ask permission to hold an auction rather than moving all his stuff out...i agreed as long as the landlord would grant written permission....the landlord granted the permission verbally and said when he made it down our way which was today he would sign the sublease...in turn i said ok to the tenant but he the tenant has to sign a sublease agreement.....also i am charging the tenant a rental fee...all was agreed to....the auction is saturday and sunday and it is all arranged and he arranged all of this before he ahd our permission to do the auction.....today i presented the sublease agreement as i said i would do for signing and the landlord said that the agreement was to in depth and he would not sign the agreement, instead he wrote one up that he would agree to sign... I said as long as if states you give me permission to sublease the building then it should be fine and i will still require the tenant to sign my sublease agreement....my sublease was very clear in that the subtenant would agree to the master lease and my stipulations which was to have the building ready for us to move in on the 17th at 10am along with the amount owed and dates for that and other general information such as if i have to obtain a lawyer to recover the rental payment then the subtenant will be expected to cover all court and attorney fees associated with that ...
    now the auction is tomorrow and i dont have a signed lease....by either landlord and current tenant....
    i am suppose to take possession of the building tomorrow, everything is in my name and the contract/lease agreement says it is in my name...i am concerned because what if someone has an accident or makes any sort of a claim, i am going to end up being sued or requested to pay for legal fees meedical fees and so forth...with the agreement signed i would still be liable but i could then turn around and take the tenant to court to hopefully get reimbursed or something.....now i have nothing and i DONT know what to do.....Is the landlord in breach of his contract to me..since i was suppose to take over on the 15th and he is not willing to sign this agreement...i simply dont know what to do and at this point i dont even know if i want to lease from the landlord after he reniged on our agreement....any help please...i plan on speaking to an attorney if this isnt cleared up tonight but that wont be until monday morning so any advice would be helpful
