NOVA NINJA ASHBURN HAS BEEN LOCKED OUT.

Donation protected

On March 1st, 2023, NoVa Ninja paid Merritt Properties, LLC as they always have our rent - in full.

On March 8th, Merritt Properties, LLC changed the locks at NoVa Ninja - DESPITE being paid in full for the entire month with no outstanding debt.
NoVa Ninja hired a lawyer and got the doors open again on March 11th.

On April 1st, for the first time in the 2 years, Merritt Properties, LLC did NOT post the monthly rent to pay the online. All inquiries of why were ignored.
Monday, April 3rd, Merritt Properties, LLC sought a court order to evict NoVa Ninja. They sighted non-payment.

There was no communication, knowledge, or notification to NoVa Ninja regarding this hearing. It was not found out until today, April 5th, when Merritt Properties posted it on the door of NoVa Ninja Ashburn as a line of 40 parents and children waited outside.

Merritt Properties, LLC changed the locks in the middle of the night without any notification or regard to the community - knowing we are a thriving business - knowing we had spring break camp going on this week - knowing we have paid every dollar they have been owed.

It does not make sense - it is easy to say "this cant be legal" - but they did it. They have drowned me in legal fees and I can no longer fight the battle alone.

There is no professionalism. There is no sense. There is no explanation of why.
The only response I have received from Merritt is "We just don't wan't to lease to you."

I have spent over 100k fighting Merritt and it's allies to understand why - but I need help now.
