How to break a commercial month-to-month lease?
I am a self-employed booth rental hair stylist. When I started work I had to sign a 3 month contract and then month-to-month after that. I want to leave and want to know how to break this contract without having to pay? I was lied to about how the business is run and now the owner tries to set everyone’s schedule. Is this legal?

Given what you have written, you need to serve the landlord with a thirty (30) day written of termination of your commercial lease and make a demand for any and all reimbursement that you believe you are owed by the landlord. You can also give your notice and simply not pay the last month of your lease.
