Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Had a small restaurant in Florida and closed it do to restructuring of lease. Could not come to terms with landlord on lease, so I closed the business in May 2009.

Today I received a renewal for the business license for the restaurant (DBPR). I called the DBPR and was made aware that the landlord paid the fee and the late fee for the business license(under our business name).

Do I have any liability here, and is the landlord trying to cause me difficulties in the future?

Please advise.

There must be more to this story because I cannot imagine why a former landlord would pay for a former tenant's business license. You can email me the rest of the story if you want.
