    The Landlord Rented the Space Next Door to a Competing Business
    My question involves business law in the state of: Alabama

    Ok. We just put the business out there not even a whole month. One girl I knew before found out it's empty right next to my salon so she lied to the landlord that she was going to open a printing company and they were signed. Afterwards I told the landlord that she is a barber and we are in the same industry but he said well, she said she was going to open a printing company so signed. But now, she came yesterday and set up the whole hair salon equipment and come at me like we doing wrong so I told the landlord that we were here first and he told me he wouldn't put the same business in the building. However here is a thing. I don't see that exclusivity clause on my contract but he did say he wouldn't do that but if he doesn't put them out what can I do? Just in case.
    Also can I do anything with that girl? Sue her or something?

    Yep, that is the thing. I'll also bet there is a clause about that contract being the entire agreement.

    Find another place to open your business.

    There is a contract that I assume is a lease. Getting out of it may not be the easiest thing in the world.

    Seems to me you have nowhere to go with this since your contract doesn't specify exclusivity.

    That your competitor lied to the LL is between her and the LL. He can probably evict her if he wants to but, let's face it, he isn't going to want to. He's got a tenant in there paying rent and he's unlikely to want to empty the place.
