I got evicted from my shop in April. About 3 weeks later, I noticed new sign being put in for new business, spoke with that business owner and she told me she is not moving in till end of July as they building the whole displays and tanks inside (pet shop). The work kept progressing as I could see. Today I got a final invoice from the landlord stating I owe them for all charges till 22 July, which is 2 days ahead.
My understanding is that like in many commercial leases he did offer them 2 months rent free period but kept it out of the commercial lease, charging me for it while using they had a use of the property.
Is that legal under property law? Not only it's a huge amount of money but this way he manages to get himself to different court where now he can use lawyers, something I can not afford at $300 per hour.
