Landlord Moves to Shut Down Lauren Boebert's Restaurant

[RandySF]

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) could lose her gun-themed restaurant in a dispute with her new landlord, the Daily Beast reports.

“A person familiar with the arrangement said the property manager felt he had a ‘moral’ imperative to close the business, and had planned to lease the space to another restaurant.”

[In It to Win It]

1. Some rodent-infested building would be glad to unfortunately have her has a tenant

[TreasonousBastard]

2. I have no problem with her being thrown out, but buying the...

building with the intention of tossing her ass is a bit questionable.

[drray23]

3. why ? if her lease is due for renewal

the new owner can decide to renew or not renew it.

[TreasonousBastard]

4. What if a new owner didn't like a Jewish owned business? That....

sort of thinking leads down dangerous paths.

[drray23]

5. only if its blatant discrimination

in which case it can be challenged in court.
When a lease is up for renewal its a new contract that the parties don't have to enter in if one party does not want it.

6. Follow the money.

The long knives have been coming out for Boebert. American Muckrakers have been pretty busy.

7. Political party isn't a protected class nt

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Truth is, state and local law often have a lot to say about...

lease renewals. The lease also can have sonething to say about it.

My point is simply that buying a business to put someone out of business may be common but it's still smarmy. Even if we like the result.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

10. I actually agree with that

But I'm not sure it's a slippery slope.

[LiberalFighter]

20. Was there anything in the report showing someone else bought the property?

[Roy Rolling]

22. It's Just Business

Capitalism, free enterprise, and all that. It may be a terrible financial decision but capitalist-friendly politicians made the rules.

[kcr]

9. Nice attempt

at a false equivalency.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. What is false about that?

[tenderfoot]

16. What if it was a porn shop and the owner was objected to porn?

Just stop.

[TreasonousBastard]

17. Wht if the new owner was a church? I made my point and did..

stop. A whole lot other people seem to want to throw their "what ifs" in, though.

21. We have a shopping center

here in Austin that the owner is Vegan. She will not allow any of the businesses to sell any animal products. When she first bought the building there was a famous/beloved hamburger restaurant there. When the lease was up, they were out.

[efhmc]

24. Wondering what hamburger place that was.

[Texasgal]

26. Holiday House.

No longer around, but an Austin institution for many years.

[LiberalFighter]

19. I saw nothing indicating someone new bought the property.

The lease was up and owner decided not to renew.

[Gore1FL]

25. I didn't see that as the stated reason for buying the property. I didn't see any stated reason.

Perhaps they bought it, watched Uvalde news, and said "enough is enough with gun culture; it won't happen in our name."

I don't know. Ultimately, though, It's their money, and a lease is a lease.

[TreasonousBastard]

27. The new owners bought it to be a pot retailer.

[alphafemale]

12. lmao FAUX News is about to proclaim property owners do not have a right to chose their clients

Hypocrisy is about to shine bright.

[Mr.Bill]

15. And the Supreme Court will

approve it 6-3.

[Torchlight]

13. As national origin, sex, religion, color, or race doesn't apply

call it "the free market at work."

But I'm guessing someone, somewhere is hoping to see a brand new protected class dependent only on political opinion.

[brush]

14. If a tenant lease runs out it's the landlord's option to re-up it or not...

no matter if it's a new landlord or not...unless of course there's a clause in the lease that specifies differently. And that's highly unlikely.

And that restaurant doesn't have the best reputation...the whole gun-packing theme of it, food poisoning incidents, thousands owed to the previous landlord that it's been reported that was paid off, co-incidentally enough, right after Boebert was reimbursed for exorbitantly high campaign mileage claims... try seven time the circumference of the Earth.

Trust me, a landlord doesn't want a tenant like that.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

18. This makes me smile

[cloudboy07]

23. It can be declared a public nuisance by any owner of the property!

that is the law ! plus the city council in tandem! the tenant has no say so !
