A group of vendors from the Little Village Discount Mall have filed a lawsuit against the mall’s owner and against one of the mall’s management companies, they announced Tuesday.
The lawsuit aims to keep the vendors operating inside the mall until a judge can determine whether the vendors are legal tenants at the mall or just licensees who can be summarily closed.
“These people are tenants. At minimum, you should give them the basic legal rights any tenant should have,” Ramsin Canon, the group’s attorney, said at a City Hall news conference. The group of about 40 vendors had been told by the mall’s owner, Novak Construction, that they would have to leave the mall by March 26. Management for the vendors, PK Mall Inc., told the group if they didn’t leave in time, their merchandise could be confiscated.Canon said the ownership and management companies view the group as “licensees” at the mall, rather than tenants, meaning they can be closed at-will.
