The business seems thriving and gaining more customer and the long term of the business looked more promising as the number of clients are increasing on a regular basis. Meanwhile the building for this lucrative business was on lease for some years but before the expired lease period, the leasor(owner) came to terminate the lease agreement claiming that he wants to make use of his property for personal business.
