LANDLORD DEMANDS UNPAID RENT FROM SHUTTERED BETHESDA PIZZA RESTAURANT

The owner of 4924 St. Elmo Avenue is taking former tenant Pizza Pass to the District Court of Maryland for Montgomery County, in an attempt to collect unpaid rent. Pizza Pass closed at the end of January, after putting the contents of the restaurant up for auction.

A complaint filed by the landlord's attorney, Caitlin C. Grant of Bethesda-based Lerch, Early & Brewer, asserts that rent was not paid from October 2014 through January 2015. The total amount sought from PIZZAPASS, LLC is $42,925.49, including late charges.

    2. That was pretty uncalled for, but that's Dyer for you. His blog, his rules.

      Hm, I guess that city-data website was wrong. Oops. Sounds like a reader below got the right info?

    Remember those other reports saying that this pizza joint was going to continue operating after selling all of their utensils, pizza ovens, fridges and furniture? lol.

    The owner really fooled them. And they ate it up, hoping to prove Dyer wrong and never investigating or asking a tough question.

      The owner never fooled anyone. News sites were just reporting what he was saying publicly, but everyone could figure it out. :)

      What investigation or tough questions would there be? Lol.

    "News sites were just reporting what he was saying publicly".

    That statement crystallizes why Riemer likes his favorite blog so much :)

    Use your brain, man. The guy said he was selling *everything* in his restaurant and posts an ad saying he's closing.

    Use critical thinking, get out and investigate. Don't take every press release at face value. Earn your pay.

    The owner of the property is 4931 FAIRMONT LLC and their address (of the LLC) is 4922A SAINT ELMO AVE BETHESDA MD 20814, according to Maryland records.

    I don't see any filings in the court system under that name or PizzaPass, however I do see that some filings are being excluded from the search for privacy reasons. It could just be that the filing is recent and not in the system yet.

    Dyer is implying that he knows the name yet for some reason he is keeping it secret. I wonder why?

    BREAKING:
    PizzaPass owner reports that he is not closing! In fact, he has an entirely new concept in development: Better for you hot dogs delivered to your door by a fleet of Union Hardware toilet cars.

    In an exclusive sit down interview (we were both seated on union hardware toilets outside), he details how he intends to serve up the best plump hot dogs in town via a fleet of toilets.
