The Port of Vancouver is suing Terminal One tenant Torque Coffee Roasters for failing to pay rent since moving into the former Red Lion Hotel on the waterfront at the beginning of the year.
Torque owes the port more than $10,500 in back rent, late fees and interest and never paid a $20,790 deposit, according to the lawsuit filed March 30.
The lawsuit demands that Torque vacate the premises and pay back rent, attorneys fees and double rent for every day it remains open after March 28.
As of Tuesday morning, the shop was still open.
