City of Jacksonville rejects rent payment from Landing owner

The city of Jacksonville rejected the annual rent payment from the owner of the Jacksonville Landing.

In a letter addressed to Jacksonville Landing Investments LLC, a subsidiary of Sleiman Enterprises, the city said it doesn’t plan to accept rent to create any new tenancy.

The check was worth $107,000.

In May, Action News Jax told you the city terminated the lease agreement.

The city said it doesn’t plan to waive the termination.

Action News Jax reached out to Sleiman Enterprises to figure out what this means for small businesses that rent space at the Jacksonville Landing. We have yet to hear back.

The city said it can’t comment on pending litigation.
