There can be extenuating circumstances where say if the retail center owner was losing the property and they had a business they owned in there or their relatives did and they wrote a sweetheart lease right before losing the property then can be argued in court the lease or parts of it is not valid.This can happen for instance in a residential property where someone getting foreclosed on and writes a lease that is not above board for low rent to a family member etc.
