**Twitter is being sued for ducking out on rent** for its downtown San Francisco headquarters, where the platform reportedly went through heavy cost-cutting under new CEO **Elon Musk**, shown above, reports the New York Post.

The company owes $136,260 in unpaid rent, according to the lawsuit filed by Columbia Property Trust.

According to the NY Post, “Twitter’s freeloading was [reported early last month ](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/13/technology/elon-musk-twitter-shakeup.html?ref=capitolcommunicator.com)by the New York Times, which wrote Musk and his advisers hoped to renegotiate terms of lease agreements after mass layoffs.

“The downsizing has already begun.

“Twitter closed its Seattle offices, [the Times reported Friday](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/29/technology/twitter-elon-musk.html?ref=capitolcommunicator.com), cutting janitorial and security services. Remaining employees were left to bring their own toilet paper to work, according to the report.”
