| Question: |
|
My financee has a small furniture business. He has his name
on the lease and his dad has the business under his name. My question
is: His landlord had charged him three months security plus rent. My
financee has been up to date with his rent until last month (owes
$100.00), about $2,000 more for the security, plus this months rent
adding up to about $7,000. His landlord is threatening to take him to
court by Monday, Sept. 13. Is this legal? Shouldn't my financee have
the right to hiring himself a lawyer first? If he does decide to leave
the business, isn't he intitled to some if not all of the security money
he has given his landlord?

Your fiancee has the right to hire a lawyer and defend the action by the
landlord. I'd suggest he contact his lawyer immediately.
