beauty | Is it legal for a landlord to allow two separate beauty salons to operate out of the same building? |
I am the owner of a beauty salon and have been operating out of this same building for the past seven years without any problems. Recently, the landlord rented the storefront next door out as a barber shop. But, now the owner of the barber shop wants to add beauticians to his shop which may threaten my business. I would like to know if there's any legal guidelines that could assist me in preventing this change from occuring? |

only if it was a condition of your lease.
most commercial businesses make sure it is included in the lease that no other or only a certain amount of businesses that may compete with it are allowed in the same building or complex. |
|

Probably not, if it's not in the lease. You should probably get a "Conflict of Interest" clause. If not here at the next place. If the barber is looking for beauticians maybe merge |

If such a situation was not addressed in your lease agreement, there is nothing preventing the landlord from doing what he did. |

Happens all the time....
Did your lease have a non-compete clause? |
|

Not unless your lease has a clause in it preventing this specific action.
I'd suggest you focus on your business and keep it competitive and aggressive.
There may be a advantage in that more customers looking for the same service will pass by and perhaps become your customers eventually. |

Not that I know of, it'd be like a mini mall only allowing one cafe to be in their strip mall. Competition is competition. :-( |

What your landlord is doing is perfectly legal, unless your lease gives you exclusivity, there is nothing that can be done. It's the samething in a mall where there is a food court. |

You should review your contract with the landlord to see if there is any statement that mentions about this issue. If this matter does not violate the contract, it will be legal.
To prevent this problem, make sure you have this statement on your contact when the contract renew is due. |

not illegal,youre simply upset because"you were there first".Yhe landlord can rent to whoever he chooses,he can rent to 4 more beauty shops if he so pleases.And as "threatening your business",welcome to America,its called COMPETITION!deal with it. |
