A handwritten note on the front doors of Jane Bond state a notice of termination and forfeiture of lease on the grounds of unpaid base rent, unpaid additional rent, use of space not agreed to, not following zoning of parking space and residential space, and not paying pro-rated additional rent for parking space.

The note continues to read that locks have been changed and the premises have been forfeited.

Co-owner Shane Gysbers confirms to the Chronicle that he believes the landlord has acted improperly, and the restaurant owners are examining their legal options for next steps.

"We are in no way behind on our rent. It is our position that the landlord has acted improperly here and will be examining our options."

The restaurant’s Twitter account shows tweets stating that the owners are not behind on any rent payments and they do plan to reopen.

Places like JB are sadly hard to come by in Uptown. Hope this gets sorted before covid is over so we can have a quarantine's end pub crawl.
