That also depends on the type of lease contract. In my country one usually rents for a term of 5 years. If you stop after say 2 years, you still have to pay for the remaining 3 years...
Hardball may be an option though. Another one: discuss lowering the rent and paying him a percentage of turnover.
Were there times in the last five years that you made enough profit in your eyes? What do you sell BTW?
