What Happened: For the first six months of the lease, an African-American owner of a day spa had a “great” and “courteous” relationship with her landlord. But then came the middle-of-the-night call the landlord received from the Sheriff’s Office notifying him of the tenant’s arrest near the leased unit. The landlord was infuriated and ordered the tenant “to get your sh*# out of my property or I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth!” Eight days later, he brought an eviction suit.
