I am a sublessee. I have a two year contract of with my sublessor for 1/2 of the space of her store. Although the lease is on her name with the landlord, but both her & I have different entities for our busineses. Our contract is up (so is hers with the landlord). Now she wants to sell her store. If I can’t afford to buy the store, can I sign a new contract directly with the landlord for my space? Or do I have to buy her store in order to rent my space directly from the landlord? Thanks for your time.
