Lost a rental case against a developer. Can I travel if the judgment is not executed?
Dear Sir/Madam,
We were sued by a developer for rent. Before the case went to court, we attempted to negotiate with the developer, explaining our inability to pay and proposing either closing the shop or basing the rent on a percentage of sales rather than a fixed amount.
The situation worsened due to COVID-19 affecting sales. Despite not utilizing the full time in the shop, we lost the case and were ordered to pay the full contract amount.
One of the main issues is the travel restriction imposed, despite being an LLC company.
My question and the advice I seek are, firstly, to regain travel privileges and, secondly, to understand the options for resolving this case, as they have not yet executed the judgment.
Dear Questioner,
Thank you for reaching out to me with your legal concerns regarding the lawsuit brought against you by a developer.
I understand the gravity of the situation and the challenges you are facing, especially in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on your business.
Based on the information you've provided, it's clear that you've made efforts to negotiate with them prior to the case reaching the court, expressing your inability to pay the fixed rent amount due to the decline in sales caused by the pandemic.
However, despite your efforts, the court ruled in favor of the developer and ordered you to pay the full amount of the contract.
Regarding your specific inquiries, I can offer the following guidance:
- Travel Restrictions:
The travel block imposed by the developer, despite your company being an LLC, is indeed a significant concern. I would recommend exploring legal avenues to address this issue, as it may impede your ability to conduct necessary business affairs.
Depending on the specifics of the situation and any contractual agreements in place, there may be legal remedies available to lift or challenge these restrictions.
- Options for Case Resolution:
Despite the court's ruling, there may still be options available to seek a resolution to the case that is more favorable to you.
This could involve further negotiations with the developer, mediation, or exploring legal avenues to challenge aspects of the judgment. It's essential to carefully review the court's decision and assess any grounds for appeal or reconsideration.
Given the complexity of your situation, I would recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss your case in more detail.
During our meeting, we can explore the specifics of your legal standing, potential strategies for resolving the case, and ways to address the travel restrictions imposed by the developer.
Please feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone to schedule a consultation at your earliest convenience.
I am here to provide you with the legal guidance and support you need during this challenging time.
