Mike Lindell’s MyPillow Evicted From Warehouse After Falling $200K Behind on Rent
March 27, 2024
MyPillow, the brainchild of Mike Lindell, needs to catch up on its rent at its Minnesota warehouse. Reportedly, the company owes its landlord $200,000.
The Star Tribune reports the company is facing a court-ordered eviction from its Shakopee warehouse. On Tuesday, March 26, a Scott County judge approved the warehouse landlord’s request for the company to vacate the property. Reportedly, four default notices were sent over the last six months.
Lindell’s company is allegedly behind in payments for February and March 2024. It owes First Industrial LP more than $217,000 for rent and other charges.
“MyPillow has more or less vacated but we’d like to do this by the book,” Sara Filo, the attorney representing First Industrial, said during an eviction court hearing. “At this point there’s a representation that no further payment is going to be made under this lease, so we’d like to go ahead with finding a new tenant.”

The ruling comes one month after a federal judge said MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell must pay a $5 million arbitration award to a software engineer who challenged data that Lindell said proved China interfered in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
Lindell is also the subject of a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems in the District of Columbia. He’s also involved in another defamation lawsuit in Minnesota by a different voting machine company, Smartmatic.
In October 2023, the Associated Press interviewed Lindell. He claims he’s out of money. Lindell further discussed his legal woes in a FrankSpeech video posted in September 2023.
