I moved out waiting for commercial landlord to fix problems?
looker asked:
I work with clients that I sign confidentiality agreements with. In my new office, the people nextdoor claim they can hear every word we say. They also complain constantly if the radio or music is playing. I brought this up to my landlord, that I cannot do business in this office unless they fix it. I gave them 30 days. They did not, g so I moved out, I can’t wait forever and I need to make money in my business. I sent a letter informing landlord that I would move out due to the lack of resolution to the problem. Now, they want to hold me responsible for the remainder of the lease. THey are now fixing the problem by adding another layer to the walls. Well, it’s too late, I moved out in order to continue with my business. They want to serve a 3 day notice for not paying rent. I know they can sue me for the life of the lease, but I can also sue for loss of money not being able to work in my office. any ideas?
The business is handling of information for paparazzi, celebrities etc.

I checked the building codes and a business must by default be soundproofed to at least 65 decibels. The wall between the 2 suites was recently constructed. Even we cannot hear any sound transfer from neighbours, they can hear us.
