"The Deep Ellum comedy venue's owner, Amanda Austin, says lawyers for the landlord’s parent company sent multiple notices to terminate tenancy by April 16 alleging lease default — claims she calls bogus — and that she was still able to access the building on that date. Her current lease reportedly runs for two more years, and she hopes to negotiate a solution that lets her stay through the lease or at least remain until she can find a new space (a difficult task given the venue's specific usage and location needs after taking a year to secure the current spot); she had not received a lawsuit at the time of reporting." - Alaena Hostetter
