Can I break a commercial lease if the government closes my business?
Question by Hugh U: Can I break a commercial lease if the government closes my business?
I lease a storefront and operate a payday advance business from it. The State government recently passed legislation which forces me out of business because they reduced the fees I can charge by 93%. It’s impossible to pay my expenses, let alone make a profit, under these circumstances. I have two more years left on the lease – do I have any legal grounds to break the lease under these circumstances?

Answer by acermill
Not a chance, unless your lease agreement covered such a situation, which is highly doubtful. You took a business risk and conditions changed. It’s not the landlord’s fault that such occurred. Cough up and learn a lesson.

Repay As You Earn: The Flawed Government Program to Help Students Have Public Service Careers Reviews
Repay As You Earn: The Flawed Government Program to Help Students Have Public Service Careers
In 1993, Congress created a student loan repayment plan intended to enable high-debt graduates to accept low-income, public service jobs by reducing their loan payments and eventually forgiving part of their debts. But this Congressional initiative only helps those with catastrophically low incomes. It has failed to attract many users because, as implemented through regulations of the U.S. Department of Education, it requires payment over too long a period (25 years before forgiveness).
Many students go to graduate and professional schools in pursuit of careers in public service. But they often must borrow 0,000 or more to finance their education. Their loan repayment obligations become so high that they can no longer afford to follow their ideals, and they abandon their plans to have public service careers and seek employment with corporations or firms offering high salaries. The income-contingent repayment plan should have appealed to would-be public interest lawyers, who are among the graduates with the highest debt-to-income ratios; but the plan has failed them, and Schrag explores why and how the plan should be reformed, either by Congress or by the federal administration.
