Joe is self-employed in a store that has a rental value of R500 a month which he pays, but he can vacate the building without giving notice. His other expenses are R100 a month for maintenance. He makes R25 000 a year on net sales (total revenue minus the wholesale cost of the product).

Suppose that Joe had a long term lease which requires him to pay the rent even if he doesn't operate the store. What should Joe do?
