Business ProfileforBrookfield Properties

I wanted this to be a warning about the character and ethical practices of the Brookfield **************************** so maybe I can save another from being destroyed by this company. I am a small business, and I want to get in a property in another location. I got a call from the leasing agent, who tried to convivence me that they wanted me to replace the current business there. He told me to keep up with what the property wanted that I need to sign a permeant lease and put a lot of money into the property. He keeps talking to me after I told him that I felt very uncomfortable going into the property with the current person that does the same business as me there. He told me all about the property owner and then assured me that they were not going to be there in 7 months. I should have known not to trust him since when I first started talking to him, he said that there wasn't in the business on the same property. He talked to me for a period of 4 months trying to convince me to trust him. He then told me that he could put the fact of non-compete in the lease because of other people already doing the services. Which I could understand that there were some businesses that did some things we did but not exactly. Those where not an issue it was just a duplicate store. So, I had to put an expensive sign, remodel the place, the other place did not even have a sign at the time. The other business got a temp lease that they could decide to stay or go. I could not and by the time it was for the other business to sign a new lease, the leasing agent would not respond. I spent all my saving and money I had to they made me sigh a lease I can't fight, All the property around me closing due to no traffic and moving away from my sections. I pay all that I can every month and they did talk about giving me a reduction but would not let me out the lease. It was like maybe 800 which this causes me to in financial ruin. My sister had 3 strokes trying to make this place successful.
