Termination of Commercial Lease Due to Ejar Data Error
The case concerns a commercial lease documented on the “Ejar” platform with data inconsistent with reality: the property was registered as a single unit despite comprising eight units. That prevented the tenant from fully occupying and subletting the premises. CounselO reviewed the case and developed a strategy for a termination claim through the claimant’s representative while reserving financial rights. The matter concluded with termination through a binding judicial settlement, achieving the client's practical objective and preserving her financial claims.

The matter
Issue: A material error existed in the lease data documented on the “Ejar” platform: the property was recorded as a single unit though it actually comprised eight commercial units, preventing the tenant from full use and subletting. Challenge: In this matter, the parties had been unable to amend the documented contract data, while the tenant remained obliged to pay rent for the entire property despite inability to exploit all units, requiring a legal route to obtain termination and preserve financial rights.
Work performed
CounselO's work:
1. Accepted the case and reviewed the lease, correspondence, and Ejar platform documents.
2. Assessed the effect of the data error on the tenant's right to use and sublease.
3. Evaluated amicable and regulatory remedies before litigation.
4. Recommended a claim to terminate the lease while reserving financial rights.

Outcome or value delivered
The parties agreed to terminate the lease through a binding judicial settlement, with financial claims reserved as described in the case account. This was a settlement outcome, not a judgment determining all financial claims.
Does recording lease termination also settle every financial claim?
The account describes consensual termination while reserving financial rights. For a similar settlement, identify exactly which claims are released and which remain, and compare the recorded unit description with the premises actually delivered.
