Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Toney is liable to SMI for at least some of the unpaid rent, as they abandoned their space before the end of the lease term. Toney may also be liable to Uneek for any damages resulting from Toney's business decisions, but this is not addressed in the fact pattern. Toney is not liable to SMI's tenants for abandoning their space.
