The unilateral and early termination of a commercial lease<\/strong> raises recurring questions: whether the tenant can leave before the agreed term, whether the landlord can claim all rent to the end, and how to calculate loss of profit<\/em>. Below we explain, in practical terms, what happens in these scenarios, what the law allows, and how to prevent disputes with a well-drafted contract.<\/p>\n

Early termination in a commercial lease<\/h1>\n

In leases for use other than housing<\/strong> (shops, offices, warehouses), the primary rule is the parties\u2019 agreement<\/strong>. If the contract does not provide<\/strong> for early termination, the tenant\u2019s early exit constitutes a breach<\/strong>, allowing the landlord to seek termination<\/strong> and damages<\/strong>. However, courts do not award \u201call remaining rent\u201d by default: compensation is linked to actual, proven loss, with special attention to a reasonable vacancy period and to the landlord\u2019s duty to mitigate loss.<\/p>\n
