Commercial Landlord's Duty to Mitigate: State Comparison Chart
A Chart offering a state-by-state overview of laws governing a commercial landlord's duty to mitigate damages if a tenant defaults on its lease. This Chart identifies whether a state imposes this duty on a commercial landlord, if that duty arises under statute or case law and identifies which party has the burden of proving mitigation in a landlord-tenant dispute. For counsel, this resource offers guidance on drafting effective lease clauses related to tenant abandonment and landlord remedies, helping to manage risks associated with a tenant breach.
