[sudo-discuss] Landlord tried to kick out sudo-kids

[Eddan Katz]

As I mentioned at the meeting this past week, dropping the current lease would allow us to all have input on the terms that we've talked about. 
We can enter a new lease (with Sudo Room as lessee) at 2141 Broadway and/or wherever satellite groups set up.

Regarding children, and with no bearing on the appropriateness of George's behavior, liability issues become more extreme when kids are involved, emotionally and financially. There are additional municipal requirements too - registration, safety measures, etc. - that would need to be met. I will look into what those things are. Presumably, most landlords will try to shift most of that responsibility to the renters in the leasing agreement.
