Legal Question in Business Law in Pennsylvania

I have a skin care business and I sub lease 2 treatment rooms from the owner of a large hair salon. I have a commercial sublease agreement and a non-compete agreement signed. I utilize his front desk staff to schedule appointments and accept payment after services are rendered. This is all in our agreement and all is working smoothly. My issue is that the owner of the hair salon, (which is the man that I have the sublease agreement with) continues to "interupt" in the skin care business operations. He complains about my staff, the specials that we run, he has told us to cease operations of certain small services that we provide, such as eyelash tinting. Saying that we are competing with him, even though the services that we offer are not the same as any services that he offers. He even went as far as having his front desk staff call my clients and cancel there pre-booked eyelash tinting services with out my consent. I have angry clients and the girls that work for me are afraid of him. Our business is doing great financially and we pay him a % of our total sales...we are all making money. He just seems to want to sabotage my business. What can I do???

The specific terms of your agreement will probably determine exactly what the scope of the non-compete provides, and what your remedies might be. I'd need to review the agreement with you to be able to give you specific guidance and recommendations. If you'd like to chat with me further, please don't hesitate to contact my office.
