SChinFChin,
Thank you for your detailed reply.
Do you think the LL can continue to run the business under the existing name or does it belong to Lessee. (The Lease has personal names only, and as far as I know, the Lessee was just DBA "XYZ")
Is it wise to re-hire some of the employees and subcontractors that used to work in that business or best to start fresh?
Also, if the Lease specifically excluded any subletting or anyone else using the premises to conduct business, and Lessee had contracted with others to bring their equipment in and share in profits, can their equipment be held/sold or does it have to be returned? And what proof do they have to provide that the items are theirs.
Anyone else has answers, comments to the original post?
