Twitter is being sued for failing to pay rent for its San Francisco office, which amounts to $136,260, according to documents filed in San Francisco State Court.
The owner of the building, Columbia Reit – 650 California LLC, has notified Twitter that it should have made the payment before December 21 and has not done so to date.
The company currently occupies the 30th floor of the Hartford Building, a skyscraper located near the financial district of San Francisco.
In 2017, Twitter signed a seven-year lease for the office space.
Elon Musk, the company’s new owner, has taken radical measures to cut the company’s costs since he acquired Twitter for $44 billion in October.
So far, Twitter has not issued any statement on this matter.
As reported by The New York Times, Twitter allegedly has not paid rent on any of its offices around the world in recent weeks, including its San Francisco headquarters in the city’s Civic Center.
The company is also being sued by Private Jet Services Group, LLC, which claims that Twitter has refused to pay for two charter flights that cost $197,725 in October.
The lawsuit was filed in New Hampshire District Court last month.
Since Musk took control of Twitter earlier this year, he has implemented a series of sweeping changes, as well as cost-cutting measures, including laying off half the workforce.
