question

An owner-retailer in a small shopping center entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement with an investor. The retailer stayed in possession and became the lessee for the next 25 years with monthly payments and various obligations regarding maintaining the property. The retailer had to pay most of the expenses on the property, and had options for further extensions but not to purchase the property back. Within a few years, lessee's business grew and he wanted to tear down one of the buildings and attach a new building to his store. The investor refused to consent. Lessee filed suit asking for an order compelling compliance. Will the court likely order the investor to comply with the lessor's demands?

options

  1. Yes, the lessee will be able to make the improvements without the investor's consent but the improvements will belong to the investor.
  2. No, because in every sale-leaseback agreement, there is a clause guaranteeing that the lessee cannot make improvements without the written consent of the investor.
  3. No, because the investor can deny any changes that they think will devalue the property.
  4. Yes, because the lessee's equity interest surpasses the investor's interest, giving the lessee the right to make improvements.
  5. Yes, because the lessee has the right to make alterations to improve business operations.
  6. Yes, since the lessee's business is growing and needs expansion, the investor should comply.
  7. Yes, because the lessee has the right to make changes as he is the one paying for the property.
  8. No, the investor has the final say in any changes to the property since they are the legal owner.
  9. No, it will preclude the lessee from making such drastic changes without the investor's consent.
