AMY Duggar and her husband, Dillon King, have been sued by the landlord of their former store for unpaid rent, as they fired back by accusing him of trashing the boutique.
Amy, 35, and Dillon, 34, own 3130 Clothing, as their first store was located in Springdale, Arkansas before the boutique moved to the Rogers area in 2021.
The Sun can exclusively reveal the landlord of the original store, Hillcrest Holdings LLC, sued the couple for failing to pay rent.
According to court documents obtained by The Sun, Amy and Dillon entered into a five-year lease agreement on October 8, 2018, for $3,332.83 a month.
On June 1, 2019, the couple added a second suite to the lease agreement, as rent increased to $6,665.66 a month until May 31, 2024.
The complaint read: “3130 occupied the premises until August 2021 at which time it vacated the premises which constitutes a default of the Lease and Amendment and a breach of contract.
“3130 failed to make the required monthly rent payments to the plaintiff as required by the Lease and Amendment after June 2021.”
The landlord requested unpaid rent from June 2021, plus court costs, interest and attorney’s fees.
Amy and Dillon responded to the lawsuit by admitting they vacated the premises in August 2021, but insisted the landlord was the one who “committed a prior material breach of the Lease and Agreement.”
The response read: “To the extent that there was not a prior material breach, Defendants detrimentally relied on Plaintiff’s representation that there would not be future damages sought if Defendants paid outstanding rental amount, which Plaintiff was to provide and did not.”
FIGHTING BACK
Amy and Dillon then filed a counterclaim against the landlord.
They argued that according to the lease, they had a Tenant Improvement allowance in the amount of $31,250 for contractors to improve the leased space.
Any cost over the agreed amount would be paid by Amy and Dillon.
In late 2018, the landlord hired a general contractor to perform renovations on the two suites.
ادعت أوراق المحكمة: "قام المالك بعد ذلك بخصم هذه الرسوم من 3130 ، بدل تحسين المستأجر الخاص بشركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة وفرض على المطالبين المقابل ، ما تم تمثيله ، جميع التكاليف الزائدة عن البدل."
وزُعم أنهم اتهموا 66486 دولارًا ، بما في ذلك الرسوم المتأخرة.
واستمرت الصحف في الادعاء: “ومع ذلك ، لم يتلق المدعون المقابل أي فواتير داعمة وقت توجيه التهم.
"بناءً على المعلومات والاعتقاد ، قام المالك بفرض رسوم على المطالبين المقابلة بما يزيد عن المبالغ التي فرضها بالفعل [المقاول] أو متعاقدون آخرون في انتهاك لعقد الإيجار والتعديل.
"قام المالك أيضًا بفرض رسوم على المطالبين المقابلة مقابل العمل المنجز في وحدات أخرى غير الأجنحة B أو C ، أو عن العمل الذي استفاد من جميع الوحدات في 7321 West Sunset التي لم يتم تحصيلها كجزء من اتفاقية بدل TI."
كما ذكرت آمي وديلون كيف أن المالك مزعوم بخرق الاتفاقية بالفشل في توفير خدمات قمامة مناسبة.
