Most likely, you will need to provide documents and/or appear at a deposition. You should not provide any information without the assistance of counsel. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss the matter further.... Read More

Answered a year and 4 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq. | 1 Answer

There is no way to answer this question without the specific details. That said there is no general prohibition against discrimintation or retaliation by the landlord unless it violates very specific limitations. You will likely need to spend the money to hire a lawyer to review the details and advise you from there.

Not likely, as its your responsibility to "mitigate" collateral and consequential damages and most such damages are not recoverable in a general contract sense unless they were foreseeable. There are literally dozens of options available to allow you to maintain online content.
