This may sound a bit waffily so I apologise now. I am a sub-tenant and I work upstairs above my landlords. Over the last few months I have had some problems with my landlords regarding legal fees about setting up the sub-tenant contract. My solicitor said that it was negotiable with the landlords as the wording in my contract is disputable but they will not budge over it, and have not even allowed me to talk to them about it. Anyway to keep the peace I agreed to pay it. The main problem is that my landlords have now turned quite nasty. They do not talk to me, which as they have to come upstairs to the toilets is difficult, they are petty and there are too many instances to write about, they have taken all my signs down from the door downstairs so basically nobody knows we are here and unfortuantely they are meant to be replacing the windows due to H&S but they haven't, so I have not been able to put signs on the windows, they give another businesses name out to customers who ask for the products that I could provide.
As you can imagine it is not very pleasant being here and my staff are not finding it too nice either. We have not got long thankfully before we can move but I am getting myself prepared for when I have to tell them I am not staying as I feel that it will be more difficult.
I feel that they will try to say that I have breached my contract, for these reasons: I asked them last year if someone could come into my business and provide another service on a fee-sharing basis which they agreed to as in my contract it should not be unreasonably withheld. Unfortunatey my contract says that they have to put it in writing which they haven't and I have not asked for it either, as we were at the time being friendly. Also they think that a colleague in the same line of business as me, who works with me and is also fee-sharing is paying rent, which he is not.
It has been a bad move here and I cannot wait to leave but I also do not want the hassle of any problems or court action after I leave, I just want to move on. Can anyone give me any advice at all. Thank You.T
