The landlord expected this business to just leave their stuff so he could sell the whole space to their competitors, but they were having none of it. For more landlord drama, here's a guy who went full Karen when threatened with eviction and revenge that ensued when a landlord who broke the law. Here's another where a landlord refused to give back a deposit so court revenge followed.

Negotiations began to slip down the priority list; nobody thought the landlord would push an evictio

    Text - Text - A few days ago we received a letter saying we had 7 days to leave the premises and take everything with us.

We ripped up the flooring we installed, tore down the walls that were not part of the original structure (Wooden walls to divide up the space) ripped apart our manager's offic

    Text - Lockdown has been extended another 4 weeks, so he has at least another 4 weeks without rent (we were paying) and won't have any potential buyers.
