What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bens Soft Pretzels's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a subtenant's right to quiet enjoyment of the premises is contingent upon compliance with the terms outlined in the Sublease, the Lease, and the Franchise Agreement. Specifically, the sublessor subleases the premises to the subtenant for the purpose of operating a Bens Soft Pretzels store.
This means that as long as the subtenant adheres to all the stipulations within these three documents, they are entitled to undisturbed use of the property without interference from the sublessor. This provision aims to protect the subtenant's business operations from disruptions caused by the sublessor, ensuring a stable environment for running the Bens Soft Pretzels franchise.
For a prospective Bens Soft Pretzels franchisee, this clause offers a degree of security, knowing that their business operations will not be arbitrarily disrupted, provided they meet all contractual obligations. It is important for the franchisee to thoroughly understand all three documents—the Sublease, the Lease, and the Franchise Agreement—to ensure full compliance and to safeguard their right to quiet enjoyment.
