Twitter’s landlord in San Francisco is suing the company for not paying rent.

The landlord, which owns the Hartford Building that houses Twitter’s headquarters, claims the company owes $136,250 in unpaid rent. It allegedly notified Twitter on December 16th that it would default on its lease if it doesn’t receive payment, but Twitter never complied.

This comes after last month’s report from The New York Times, which indicates Twitter has stopped paying rent on all of its global offices “for weeks” as a cost-cutting measure. Twitter’s also facing a lawsuit for allegedly failing to pay a $197,725 bill for two private jet flights.

Even George R.R. Martin is feeling the effects of the Warner Bros. Discovery merger.

In a new post, Martin says the “changes at HBO Max” has affected the development of several Game of Thrones spinoffs (save for the second season of House of the Dragon).

None of the projects have been greenlit, and two have already been shelved. But as Martin insists, they are not dead yet, as “you can take something off the shelf as easily as you can put it on the shelf.”
