Twitter sued for not paying rent on office in San Francisco

Twitter Inc. has been sued for not paying up $136,250 in rent for the office space it has hired in San Francisco, according to a Bloomberg report.

The landlord, Columbia Reit, said it notified Twitter on Dec. 16 that it would be in default on its lease for the 30th floor of the Hartford Building in five days unless the rent was paid. The tenant failed to comply, Columbia Reit said in the complaint, filed Thursday in state court in San Francisco.

Twitter hasn’t paid rent on its headquarters, or any of its other global offices, in weeks, the New York Times reported on Dec. 13. The company was also sued earlier this month for refusing to pay for two charter flights.

Twitter did not respond to a request for comment.
