Commercial Landlord Who Needs Manners

     Yesterday, I met a commercial client, Mike, his landlord and the landlord's broker at my client's restaurant.  Mike called me to set-up a meeting so that he could lease the additonal  contiguous space for his restaurant.  The landlord was quibbling about my client opening up a wall and placing a metal beam in the ceiling.  That should have been the landlord's responsibility, he then looked directly at his broker and myself and said to Mike, "You pay the commission too."  Maybe I have been lucky but that never happened to me.  Yet, the landlord went on to tell me about the other commercial spaces he has with the hope of me bringing other clients.
