Resident Culture’s attorney filed a response with the court, saying it was the landlord who breached terms of the lease. The brewery claims the landlord failed to provide enough parking and mitigate damages.
According to Resident Culture’s filing, the brewery admitted to not paying rent and some of the other charges, but argues it isn’t liable for those amounts because it entered into a guaranty for the lease.
