If the facts are that landlord is seeking to collect for post-petition rent
only for a post-petition holdover tenant (tenant does not leave even though
lease rejected), then there would not be a violation of the discharge
injunction, correct?

August would have been the last month under my client's lease, so essentially, the landlord is trying to collect everything he is owed under the lease despite the bk.
Is landlord in violation of the automatic stay? Is he entitled to "lease rejection damages" (possibly the August rent if he was unable to relet the premesis by then)? This is NoHo Commons in North Hollywood and I find it hard to believe he couldn't get someone else in there really quick as this is a new building.
I am sending a "you are in violation of the automatic stay" letter, but please let me know if I am missing something with respect to the landlord's rights. I don't see why my client has to pay for either July or August.
