The situation is more complicated than you present.
As a landlord I know that in my state a tenant has to be 15 days late before I can give them a 15 day notice to pay or quit.
After that time, one month total, I can begin eviction proceedings.
That can take months to complete.
So, as a landlord, I would not sue after one month because I don’t know if they will remain without paying until they are evicted.
Then, once they are gone, I can file suit for everything they owe me.
Including any possible damages that I am not aware of until they leave.
The situation with a business rental is different.
There is not the concern of putting someone out in the street.
It’s solely about money.
A residential tenant has many more rights than a business lease and the courts will enforce those tenant’s rights aggressively.
Believe me.
That is not the case with business. Businesses must defend themselves. Just like the owner of Elon’s lease is doing.
Its a civil matter and taking it to court right away is acceptable.
You’re comparing apples to oranges.
2ºRowddy Fontenot Yes, 2.76 Million encounters in 2022. Do you know how we know how many? Its real simple, that is how many people we caught, and the VAST majority of them got sent back, unless they actually meet the requirements to apply for asylum. Sure, I fully expect some managed to get across the border and evade detection, but those numbers are relatively small and we have no way to actually track them, because they managed to evade detection when we have a MASSIVE border patrol department with all kinds of monitoring gadgets all along the borders.
Now there were several prominent republicans that rounded up illegal immigrants and illegally transported them across state lines, under false pretenses no less (another crime) to try and score political points, but those were people already here in the country, either that or those republicans helped people cross the border illegally... I wonder which they did?

"Most debt is derived from spending on extras
Basic necessities and healthcare costs may be sending some people into debt, but more people point to spending on non-essential items like clothing and entertainment as the main culprit. In CNBC Make It's survey, 32% of people said their discretionary spending was the No. 1 cause of their current credit card debt.
Another 9% say the majority of their debt comes from paying for travel. Americans spend an average of $483 a month on non-essentials such as dining out, entertainment, luxury items and vacations, Schwab's 2019 Modern Wealth report found."

4ºTodd Harrison Not anymore credibility than Musk has, for sure but you'll still cape for him. My harmless math is off by 16 billion, which does nothing to anyone or anything. Everyone understood the point I was making but here you are to mock my 'credibility'. Meanwhile, you are simping for Musk, who lost 200 billion in real cash, has trashed people's real lives, made people lose their real jobs, etc., and he's stepped out of his comfort zone all so he could control how people use a social media platform he likes, that he's cut in half and nearly destroyed. He's ruining a business he helped make big and spread around the world and making a mockery of so much, all because his ego has been getting burned and he cares more about that and what people say about him.
"My credibility" vs "Elon Musk's credibility"... gee...wow. You sure are telling me.

No, those laws were put into place because of abuse by landlords.
There is no justification to just tossing someone out in the street with no notice over a few hundred bucks.
That’s a Scrooge move.
That’s an illegal move.
I’ve always gotten it back.
None of this applies to Musk anyway.
Musk signed a contract to pay so much each month for an agreed upon term.
Musk didn’t pay.
Musk is in violation of the contract.
Musk voided the contract.
The owner of the lease is entitled to sue for the entire dollar amount of the contract.
If you don’t believe me then why are they doing exactly that?
6ºStephen Michael
No. I disagree.
Like I said.
Residential tenants have a great many protections extended to them by the government.
The courts enforce these laws vigorously.
Business rentals do not have these protections and must defend themselves.
Both sides.
In Elon’s case, there’s a lease and if Elon violates the lease the owner of the lease can sue for the entire amount of the agreed upon rent that was contracted to be paid over the entire agreed upon duration.
When you evict someone from their home the lease is cut short by the court and you cannot sue for future rent like you can with a business lease.
So in this case the owner of Elon’s lease knows exactly what his losses will be if he is not paid and he does not need to wait and see what those damages will be.
He can sue immediately.
I understand how you think it should be but that is not the way it is.
7ºDenise Susterich it’s cute you tagged me and didn’t say anything relevant. Of course musk rattles y’all’s cages. It’s been proven time and time again. You notice Facebook has stopped pushing so far left now that twitter isn’t biased? Funny how when a platform actually allows freedom of speech it makes other platforms change how they want to act now. Worry about y’all’s cnn that’s been bought and sold like 4 times in a short period of time. How they promised to be less biased and have pretty much fired all the anchors. It’s because it’s a sinking ship. In the end freedom of speech will always win. Which is something y’all can’t stand. Because it don’t fit the narrative y’all want to push. Be scared because musk has given a platform back to the people not controlled by a leftist fit agenda.
