What Happened: A landlord got agita after reading in the local newspaper that its tenant, the local Golden Corral restaurant, had closed down. Upon finding the property apparently abandoned and in very dirty condition, it changed the locks. It then sent the tenant a notice to cure the breach—that is, nonpayment of rent—within 15 days. When the tenant didn’t pay up, it terminated the lease and sued for breach of contract.
