Each state mandates the time allowed. Look for your Residential Landlord & Tenant Act (should be available online). This should give you the details of how long they have and what financial recourse you can get if they dont fix it.

Your lease, the buildings insurance, the auto insurance, there are lots of things that come into play. Is there a problem with you moving? You may have to bring your lease into a lawyer to find out if you can move out. Take pictures of the damage if you break your lease.

He must fix it promptly – read your contract – it should be mentioned there – if not you have a leg up because the issue of time becomes subjective and to you 24 hours is long enough. An unsightly store front is both a detraction to customers and an attraction to thieves

I would say that five months is unreasonably long. Your landlord has failed to perform his own responsibilities in your lease contract. Remember that a contract is a two-way agreement. You should consult your company’s attorney. If you don’t have one, now is the time. He will know your local laws and regulations, and give some meaningful advice. Several hundred dollars for an hour’s consultation will be money well spent. Plus, it will be a business expense.
