Vietnam's electric vehicle maker VinFast is being sued in a California court for not having paid rent for a store, according to a complaint filed by real estate services firm SPG Center LLC, which VinFast said was inaccurate. SPG Center said VinFast had rented the premises in a shopping centre in Palo Alto from the end of March 2023, but had stopped paying since May 2023 through last month, with the total amount due of nearly $356,000, equal to twelve months of rent, according to the complaint it filed on May 14 with California's Superior Court for the county of Santa Clara. "The allegation that VinFast has not paid rent from May 1, 2023, to April 1, 2024, is inaccurate," VinFast said in a statement to Reuters.
