Commercial Lease- Severe Roof Leak/ Landlord procrastinating on repair.
Recently leased building for consignment store, roof leaking to the extent that the celing tiles are falling down and the building smells from the wet insullation. Landlord says he will have it repaired next month… odor is affecting business. What remedies do I have?

I'd contact an attorney about this right away. A leaking roof this bad isn't something that can be allowed to wait until next month! One place to find a qualified lawyer to help you with this is our website, http://attorneypages.com
Sometimes, you have to hire an attorney to let people know that you're going to stand up for your rights, and not be taken advantage of. And if that doesn't work, you're usually much better off, if you have to go to court, with the case being run by somebody who knows how.
