New York, USA - Social enterprise building materials salvager, Buffalo Reuse, which has had a turbulent time recently, has now been served with an eviction order for failing to pay its rent and maintain its buildings. Last month, Buffalo ReUse says they were given an eviction notice by their landlord and that their rent would almost double to $5,000 a month.

Vincent Kuntz of Buffalo ReUse said, "The rent on this building is about $1.75 for a square foot per year. And that's higher than average for a building this size and condition."

The landlord, Clark Bono, alleged that Buffalo Reuse had severely damaged the building and had refused to sign a new lease. Buffalo Reuse has not made a decision but are considering their options for the future and it will stay open at least until the end of September.
