Too Sexy for Your Lease? Religious Landlord Rejects Fetish Costume Shop From Bushwick Building

Sometimes you really need to examine the small print.

The owner of costume shop which specializes in latex outfits says her lease has been denied by Hasidic landlords due to the sexy nature of some of her clothes.

“The broker called me and said, ‘There seems to be a concern with one of the three owners that your store, and you, are too sexual for the space,’” Klawdya Rothschild, the owner of Klawtex, told DNAinfo.

Ms. Rothschild says she had already paid three months rent on top of a security deposit to Shops At The Loom, a cluster of stores in trendy Bushwick. The store is a specialist fashion outlet which also includes fetish wear.

Yet the deal was never completed.

I bet the landlord didn't pay interest on holding that potential tenants money. Just another lying, cheating scum of the earth.

I imagine many people have mental lists of who they believe everyone else should hate. I'd s'pose that a handful of them even pretend they're correct...
