I have been a commercial tenant at one of Benderson's properties for years. I have complained numerous times about the mold, leaks, and unsafe conditions in the building. Benderson and his henchmen just ignore the complaints and I have been loosing customers because of it. I would have thought a big developer such as Benderson would take better care of his tenants. I guess all he cares about is opening up his multi-million dollar rowing park. My attorney says I have a case and could possibly sue to get out of the lease because of the horrible condition of the property, but he wants $5, 000 up front and has warned me that Benderson will try and put me out of business if I sue him. Next time I rent, I won't be renting from Benderson or anyone related to Benderson. I can't believe Sarasota lets this company get away with this crap, someone needs to stand up to this guy. As a small business owner, I just can't take on someone like Benderson and risk being put out of business. To add insult to injury, I was just notified this week that he is raising my rent again. Who does this guy think he is!
