techs: Any lawyer who has ever done even one lease for commercial space will tell you the kind of clause you complain is common, nearly universal in this type of lease.
And such lawyer could also tell you that landlords seek a clause requiring the tenant to actively operate the business at the premises for the whole term of the lease. Not as common a clause-the tenants push back a lot on this-but hardly unheard of.
The enforceabilty of such a clause is predicated on Home Depot not breaching the lease, of course, ie continuing to pay the rent.
I think the overall complaint is more about change. and why can things always stay the way they used to be in the good old days, than on any sort of alleged corporate wrongdoing-of which there is not even a hint of, so far.
