Lease abatement is a legal remedy that allows tenants to reduce or suspend rent payments when a leased property becomes partially or wholly unusable through no fault of their own. Common triggers for lease abatement include significant damage, ongoing construction, or failure by the landlord to provide essential services like heat, water, or access. At Outerbridge Law P.C., we often assist both tenants and landlords in navigating lease abatement clauses, especially in complex commercial and residential lease disputes. For tenants, understanding your right to lease abatement can be crucial if you're dealing with uninhabitable conditions. For landlords, it’s important to understand how lease abatement can impact rental income and how to protect your interests through properly drafted lease agreements.
