Evicted and suing a Cancer patient after 17 years,...

Evicted and suing a Cancer patient after 17 years, as a tenant running a small shoe repair shop at the Newgate Mall strip mall owned by the Woodbury family my father in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and had to close his doors. Having renewed his lease 3 times in the past in good faith and always paid on time he thought they would let him cancel the remain 2 years as he was unable to continue. Instead they are demanding payment in full and taking him to court.
