SHAKOPEE, Minn. — Attorneys for a Shakopee landlord said their client has voluntarily dismissed an eviction suit against the company MyPillow, but not without cost to the company and CEO Mike Lindell.
According to Scott County court documents, several notices of tenant default were hand-delivered to the MyPillow location on 4th Avenue East in Shakopee, ordering the company to pay $550,202.10 to replace the amount of the security deposit applied by the landlord against MyPillow's outstanding account.
On Thursday, new documents revealed the landlord gave MyPillow five days from the date of the notice to pay the debt before the company faced eviction.
KARE 11 has reached out to the landlord's attorney to confirm whether the suit was dropped as the result of adequate payment.
In a series of legal filings, the landlord alleged MyPillow hadn't paid its rent — $272,505 per month — for June or July. Another MyPillow located on Valley Industrial Boulevard South, also in Shakopee, was accused of missing rent payments for February and March. A judge ultimately ordered the removal of MyPillow from that warehouse in March.
MyPillow is owned by Mike Lindell, a prominent promoter of false claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the 2020 presidential election from former President Donald Trump.
