@Frayserboi - A couple of months ago, Cates expanded their butcher shop to open a restaurant in the space next door. The landlord refused to fix the water leaks and mold problems which forced them to close the restaurant. The realty company is saying they still have a lease on the second unit even though it is not usable as intended.

Confusing article; if they are paying the lease, why are they being evicted? Dumpster issues? That should be a different company than the landlord. "Let them go back to being a butcher shop"....as opposed to? Maybe they just need to hire a maid!
