LA Times sued for $24 million over rental issues

nypost.com

The Los Angeles Times faces a $24 million lawsuit from real estate developer Alameda for allegedly failing to pay rent and leaving its printing plant in disrepair. The lawsuit claims the facility was damaged with toxic ink stains and leaks after the Times vacated in September 2024. Alameda alleges that the Times and its owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, breached their rental contract by not maintaining the property and missing rental payments. The lawsuit states that the Times was supposed to restore the plant to its original condition but left it in poor shape. The case is currently in discovery after delays due to recent fires in Los Angeles. An attorney for the Times called the claims "meritless," while Alameda's lawyers criticized Soon-Shiong for mismanagement and cost-cutting measures at the newspaper.
