Can my landlord force me to relocate my business?

The answer to that depends on whether there is a relocation clause in your lease.  A relocation clause permits a landlord to move your business to another location in the same building or shopping center to make room for another tenant. Even if the landlord covers the entire cost of relocation, a relocation still costs you a great deal in lost business during the move, returning customers unable or unwilling to find your new location and other costs of moving such as website, advertising and other costs associated with a changed address. If a landlord insists on a relocation provision, be sure to carefully delineate which rental spaces are acceptable (for example, make sure you get an endcap), clarify that the landlord will pay for all direct and incidental costs of the move and reserve the right to terminate your lease if the new space is unacceptable.
