  • A West Kelowna gym is suing their former landlords after they were kicked out of their location this past summer.

The article from Castanet.net discusses a lawsuit filed by Anytime Fitness West Kelowna against their former landlord, 1060160 B.C. LTD, and its principal, Robert Schofield. The gym claims that the landlord breached their lease agreement by not providing a safe and secure environment, which led to the gym's closure due to safety concerns. Additionally, Anytime Fitness alleges defamation, stating that Schofield made false and damaging statements about the gym's management and operations to its members and the public. The lawsuit seeks damages for the financial losses incurred from the closure, relocation costs, and the reputational harm caused by the alleged defamatory remarks. The case highlights issues of lease enforcement, property management responsibilities, and the impact of public statements on business reputation.
