This is just really all very ugly. Justin should get one of the 'business' more suave guys on his team to talk to the landlord about it and point out all the great publicity the building's getting from the Y teams...if indeed they still want to stay there. The landlord's a business guy. In the tech industry, hackers rule but in the 'real' world, it's all business.

Also, while it's very sweet that his loyal fans have put up a site to not evict Justin, I have a feeling Justin and the gang is about to get slapped with a defamation court order if the landlord finds out about it. Ah, the things you can sue people over

Would the landlord want such publicity? If he is only interested in attracting tenants who are technology start-ups, then perhaps so. Or maybe he prefers quiet tenants who keep their heads down and don't disturb other tenants? The latter are easy enough to come by and pay the same amount of rent.
