Yep. Another weird implication of this is that putting leased
equipment in a colo facility technically requires some special
attention to ensure property insurance requirements are met.
We had a problem with that before where the particular leasor
had never dealt with colocation situations before and thought
it was "insane" we were putting our equipment on someone else's
property.

Nope. If the landlord defaults in a manner where they will suspend
operations, they're failing to fulfill the terms of the contract and
thus, as a tenant, you can't be liable for an amount larger than
your current balance. At least, not as a general rule :)

Sure, but potential liens would only apply to past due balances. Unposted
balances that you're talking about aren't past due, so they couldn't
restrict your access on that basis to my knowledge.

Believe it or not, that is essentially
