What assistance is a terminated Deka Lash franchisee obligated to provide regarding the lease of the franchised location?

Based on the 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no mention of required assistance from a terminated franchisee regarding the lease of the franchised location. However, the document does state that Section 11(f) concerning lease assignment is deleted from the agreement. This suggests that the standard franchise agreement may have initially contained clauses about lease assignments upon termination, but these have been removed.

While the FDD does not specify obligations related to the lease, it does outline requirements for the assignment and handling of listings (telephone numbers, internet listings, etc.) upon termination. Specifically, the franchisee must transfer these listings to Deka Lash, install intercept messages, disconnect listings, and cooperate with the removal or relisting of directory information.

Given the absence of explicit lease-related obligations in the provided excerpts and the deletion of the lease assignment section, prospective franchisees should directly inquire with Deka Lash about any expectations or requirements concerning the lease of the franchised location upon termination. Understanding these potential obligations is crucial for assessing the full scope of responsibilities and liabilities associated with the franchise agreement.
