Landlord Attempting to Evict Los Imperios in West Hartford: Court Documets

The owners of Los Imperios in West Hartford have not paid their rent since May and now the landlord is trying to evict them, according to court documents.

In the complaint, Lisaraj, LLC, the owner of the property where Los Imperios resides at 904 Farmington Avenue, claims that owners Ernesto Leon and Guillermino Marquez signed a 5-year lease from Aug. 1, 2014 through July 31, 2019. The complaint goes on to state that the defendants have not paid rent for the months from May 2017 up to the present. A specific dollar amount was not included.

According to court documents, the landlord served both defendants a notice to quit possession of the premises by Sept. 21 but they have not left.

Leon submitted an answer to the court where he agrees with the issues laid out in the complaint and states that he informed his landlord of the violation on June 17.

NBC Connecticut attempted to contact to Leon by phone but has been unable to reach him.

The nightclub located on Farmington Avenue has been the center of controversy for months. In July, West Hartford police suspended the business’s entertainment license and later revoked it completely due to a series of violations. Police said they have responded to numerous noise complaints at the club, and there have also been fights and disturbances on multiple occasions.
