Procedural Slips Doom Tenant’s Contract Claims Against Landlord
What Happened: A tanning salon tenant sued its landlord for breach of contract but listed the wrong corporate name. Before the tenant could file an amended suit with the landlord’s proper corporate name, the landlord stole the march by filing its own eviction case in the same court. The court gave the tenant a chance to file an answer listing its breach of contract counterclaims.
