I know as a broker I would be amendable to that for a good long standing client

My first thought is that it would be the easiest to amend the lease end-date...? 

We'll be amending that shortly.Rent increases on the poor?

I would ask to see the LLC OPAG, see the LLC formation paperwork, any amendments made, ask for a report on any insurance claims they have had, and any documents related to any litigation they have been involved in, any suits filed against them (pursued or dismissed), and overall just any legal communications.

I'll bet tomorrow morning you'll have an amended one and there goes your argument.

It's important you let them know your expectations for this situation and if that requires a contract amendment, then create one.

If you already have a lease with these tenants speak to your attorney as will need to do an amendment to the lease for this charge. 

Currently I have a PA Amendment pushing closing to 12/18 but of course the lender is unable to make that.

Since you've been in your space for so long, it would be to your benefit to (i) read back through your Lease, and all subsequent amendments to see which provision the landlord is basing their decision, or (ii) simply ask the landlord (in-writing) which provision they are using to terminate your lease.

Once the City Council adopts an Ordinance approving the Zone Change and General Plan Amendment, pending an appeal, becomes law in 30 days.
