Re: Psycho Host House AP Refusing to let me get equipment off roof HELP

Our contract is quite simple
- 5 years
- We pay annual rent to the land owner
- If they sell, the lease agreement is to be transfered as part of that sale
- We start paying rent to the new land owner

Rent payments may be in the form of free internet.

The only problem with that is if the new owner refuses to accept the transfer of the lease, then you are stuck with moving your gear (maybe under duress) and trying to collect on a default from whoever signed the lease.

I would question a "simple" contract that requires the lease agreement to be transferred with the sale. Unless the contract is legally tied to the property then it could get messy. If the contract wasn't transferred as a part of the closing then it seems the recourse for the WISP is with the original property owner who signed the contract. Paying the new property owner certainly could be a part of proof that the new owner recognized the contract, but having canceled rent checks would probably make more of an impact in court than just free Internet.
