The owner of the building that houses Twitter’s headquarters, California Property Trust, is suing Elon Musk’s company for failing to pay $136,250 in rent. According to Bloomberg (via The Verge), the firm told Twitter on December 16th that if it did not pay its unpaid rent within five days, it would default on its lease for the 30th floor of the Hartford Building, located at 650 California Street in San Francisco. California Property Trust claimed in a complaint filed this week in San Francisco County Superior Court that Twitter failed to comply with the injunction.
According to a New York Times report published on December 13th, Twitter had just stopped paying rent on all of its global locations in order to save money. In addition, the firm is being sued for failing to pay Musk $197,725 for charter flights he took during his first week at Twitter. During the same time frame, Musk is said to have brought “more than a half-dozen” lawyers from SpaceX to Twitter’s legal staff.
