We are currently leasing office space in Los Angeles under the name of a Hong Kong company. The contract is for one year, but business is not going well and we will not be able to pay the office fee with six months left. According to the contract, the mid-contract is written to pay the remaining amount in a lump sum. The company has gone dormant and has no other option but to leave it alone as it is insolvent. How should I have handled this situation ？ Incidentally, I have heard that when an acquaintance of mine was in a similar situation in Japan, he left it as it was and there was no problem.

If it's in the name of a Hong Kong company, the Hong Kong company will clean up the mess ？.

That's called running away in the night

＞ How should I have handled it ？

Since you have a contract, you have to pay the rest
Of course you have a guarantor, so he/she is obligated to pay.

If your name is on the contract, you can either pay the rest or sue them.

Well, it depends on the contents of the contract, but if Topy has also signed that contract,

the responsibility would simply fall on Topy personally.


＞ When I was in a similar situation in Japan, I had no problem leaving it as it was

Japan is Japan and this is this country, legal relations and business environment are completely different.

Basically the same thing （ lol ） Or do you think Japan doesn't require you to sign a lease contract? The leasing company will go to court against you, otherwise they won't be able to rent to you again.
You might have been cheated by the Chinese and ended up in America.

You could honestly tell landlord what happened and negotiate with them that you can only pay 1 or 2 months rent.
In these times, it would be better for landlord to get a little payment than to have them run away in the night.

I don't have a guarantor's signature. In the meantime, I will try to negotiate again. Thank you all ！

What does it mean to lease an office in the name of a Hong Kong company?

Do you mean the Los Angeles office of the Hong Kong company?
