Can commercial LL suddenly close your business or claim you did not pay rent for a long time, he won't give OR, their building is rundown zero mainten

They suddenly stopped giving OR saying that the pay in Taxes is too high. Will it fly in small claims if they suddenly claim that i have not payed for 1 year? Will the small claims believe why they did not evict me if i am not really paying them for so long?

In small claims court, the landlord's claim that you have not ρáíd rent for a year would need to be supported by evidence such as payment records, notices of non-payment, or any written agreements regarding rent payments. If the landlord suddenly claims that you have not ρáíd rent for a year without any supporting documentation, it may not hold up in court.

Regarding the issue of the landlord suddenly stopping the issuance of official receipts (OR) due to high taxes, it is important to note that landlords are generally required by law to provide receipts for rent payments. If the landlord is refusing to provide ORs, you may want to consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and options in this situation.

In terms of the landlord's failure to evict you despite allegedly not receiving rent for a year, this could be a point in your favor. If the landlord had legitimate concerns about non-payment of rent, it would be expected that they would take legal steps to address the issue, such as issuing notices or pursuing eviction proceedings. The fact that they have not taken such actions may weaken their claim of non-payment in court.

Overall, it is advisable to gather any documentation or evidence related to your rent payments and communication with the landlord to prepare for a potential small claims court case. Seeking legal guidance can also help you navigate the situation and protect your rights as a tenant.

Yeah, if they didn't kick you out for not paying, that's pretty weird. They probably need solid proof if they're gonna claim you owe that much.

Thank you good sir. This place is too stressful but i have no choice even after 1 year of looking to transfer. No good location as my business need the foot traffic. They inherited the property, the other sibling is the one taking the rent from my space as it is his inheritance, and the older sibling (landlord) have the name in their rental property and he is the one who won't give receipt because he is not receiving the rent from my store.
