Previous business owner is trying to extort me.

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

I took over a business and lease a couple years ago.

The business was not doing well prior to me taking over. After it began doing well, the previous owner attempted to extort me for my second quarters profit or else I have to leave in 3 months, presumably so she can take back over now that the business is doing well. Is this legal?!

What exactly does "... took over a business and lease..." mean?

Extort, that too has a pretty specific meaning.
