In this episode, I share a wild (and very real) lesson on tortious interference - what it means, how I got sued for it, and what every landlord should understand when it comes to transferring leases. From NFL players selling overpriced smoothie shops to doctors trying their hand at burger franchises, I’ve seen my share of risky lease assignments - and learned to trust my instincts.

I walk through two real-life examples where I blocked lease transfers, faced legal threats, and ultimately protected my shopping centers. I also explain how I secured personal guarantees, maintained leverage, and stayed paid when things went sideways. For any landlord who’s ever second-guessed their judgment or felt pressured into approving a shaky deal, this episode is essential listening.

Key Insights:✔️ Tortious interference claims can surface - even when protecting the asset✔️ Lease assignment red flags are worth paying attention to✔️ Personal guarantees offer critical protection from unqualified tenants✔️ Tenants often return admitting they should have followed advice✔️ Backup tenants and strong lease terms can protect the landlord’s position✔️ Sometimes, saying “no” is the most responsible thing a landlord can do
