Hello folks!
Here is my story.
I am late in my rent;as of right now I owe august-september-october-november. I was told already I am being evicted. I haven't got anything yet in the mail. I operate a money transfer business there but since September my license was suspended. I was trying to sell the business or find a partner but nothing worked out and the owner of the building is not willing to wait anymore. I finally find someone who wanted to operate from there a different type of business so I would get some money for the right or giving up my business, so I could pay the late rent. I called the owner but the process of eviction is already started and he told me he already promised the space to another person. Well, this person who I happen to know was interested in my business but didn't offer me enough. So what I think is that this person is going to start the same type of business from there and basically got my business by paying nothing( a possibility is that this guy is paying the owner to evict me so he can take over the space)
What can I do? Do I have a chance to avoid that a same type of business operate there? I am willing to hand the keys over to the owner but I am not willing to see this person starting the same type of business where I was operating and likely taken out by eviction. Even though My business is in a bad situation, it is worth something at this point(location, clients know the location as a point to send money, etc)so basically this person would be profiting from that.
Do I have a chance in court? Can ask the judge to ban this type of business at that location for lets say 2-3 years unless they pay me some money?
Thanks a lot.
