WE opened our restaurant in June 2010, the builing was sold Nov. 1st 2010, the new landlords did not fulfill the addendum to our lease, served us a written notice from their lawyers in person on dec. 31st for december rent event though they had not fixed the furnace and heat for our unit. Proceeded to steal our restaurant equipment and inventory on a day we were closed for business, we witnessed doing so, covered their tracks by notifying local police dept. that they had evicted us and were changing the locks and we were not allowed on the property, boarded the doors with plywood, prevented us from removing our property and proceeded to renovate our unit and show it to prospective tennants.As a result forced us to close our restaurant business, default on our loan, terminate employees and loss of revenue. There was only one written letter of notice to terminate lease, no court summary and complaint process, no notice served by sheriff and not even a certified mail letter, just a very forceful and threating visit by landlord with letter in hand threating "pay up or get out cause I'll destroy your business".
Can we bring suit against landlords for wrongful eviction, loss of revenue damages??
