Does my business have standing to sue my landlord for code violations?
I am a business owner in PA who was leased a commercial space in a seven story building... basement level. We were forced to close down as a result of Landlord/Tenant dispute where my partner placed Rents into an escrow account because the building was not up to fire code... which is the sole responsibility of the landlord to rectify. That dispute is in litigation. However, the complaint was against my partner in his private capacity for breach of contract. Does my business have standing to sue for damages for loss of revenue, breach of contract, and negligence in order to recoup the losses resulting from the injury caused by the Landlord's non-compliance to local codes/regulations?
