Justice for Miss B’s

One dollar. One million voices.

Leased a property for pre-school and child care. Sued by the landlords. The doors never opened. Help us pay the legal bills to defend Miss B’s.

What happened

Landlords Chris and Dori Carter of GreenOrange Lillie LLC leased 2500 Lillie Avenue to Miss B’s for a child daycare center and pre-school education, the use written into the lease. Miss B’s alleges the landlords knew the County had not approved the main building for commercial use, leased it anyway, then refused to allow the permits Miss B’s needed to open. Then came a Three Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit, and a lawsuit. Hundreds of thousands invested, and not one child through the doors. Miss B’s has answered with a cross complaint, and continues to invest in legal fees to defend its position.
