The tenant can rescind the lease with prompt notice. Shuster may be able to rescind the lease due to Thurgood's breach of the lease agreement by overcharging fees without explanation. However, Shuster would need to provide prompt notice to Thurgood of their intent to rescind the lease. After providing notice, Shuster may be able to terminate the lease and potentially recover any amounts paid to Thurgood that exceeded the correct amount of fees.
