Why would X have gotten kicked out for unpaid rent?

The building manager stopped any and all proceedings against X for the two months of alleged unpaid rent.

Just because you caught up with back payments doesn’t mean the landlord wants you around anymore.

Not all delinquencies may have reached the level of lawsuit, either, while still being a problem.

Doubtful narrative. In a time when occupancy is going up you would not want to kick our your anchor. Having a large company like X can help boost the rest of the area.

Throw in any other factor and it fits. Another tenant already lined up, musk wanting to significantly reduce the space he was leasing (plausible, no?) or what have you. A slow commercial market might be the only reason it took as long as it did.

Not a certainty, but a real possibility.

Because commercial real estate is just booming right now, right? People are fighting for that office space!

Because Twitter doesn't pay rent. IDK?
