My Rental Went Viral, So My Landlord Took It Back and Lost Everything

My bed-and-breakfast blew up online, and my landlord showed up at the door with a crowd the same day.

He said the house was his, and I had to move out.

Couldn't strip the renovations, couldn't take my customers, and the lease meant nothing.

"Some out-of-town nobody thinks he gets to make money on our turf?"

In the merchants' group chat, Miles Sullivan the diner owner led the pile-on.

"Stick with the landlord and there's meat on the table."

Arthur Lawrence, the guy renting bikes, sent a cash gift with a note attached: "Get lost, outsider."
