My husband and I leased a commercial place in GA as a restaurant 5 years ago. As the bad economy goes, we were not able to keep up with all the rent, we only pay 2500 instead of 6500 in the past 6 month. Now the landlord is demanding the money throught his attorney for the balance we owed about 35000. Since the restaurant is not doing so well, I really can not afford to pay such a large sum nor the future 6500 medications without a prescription in monthly basis. I am wondering can landlord put a lien on my property even I have little equity in my house? The restaurant lease is signed by both me and my husband, so is the house. Also, recently my husband has filed chapter 7 and get discharged. . What should I do at this moments..the attorney is demanding the entire payment within 10 days which I do not have. The lease is for 10 years ending in 2014.
Please help…
Sincerely
Only my husband filed for chapter 7, I did not. and both of our names are on the lease.
