I play baseball with a guy who owns and manages industrial buildings in Jessup, Md. and he has some amazing stories of just how goofy that business can get.
The last thing he wants to do is keep the business locked down. He will make very little money on the forced auction of her equipment unless there is something of real value: tables and chairs and other furniture sells for pennies on the dollar. There are whole little mom and pops that feed off forced business auctions and there is a glut, at least in the states, of used office crap. Here is the firm he uses:
Capitol Online Auctions | Business Equipment Liquidation | Estate Sales & Used Office Equipment
Take a few minutes and see what stuff sells for. Unless there are real machines under lock down, the landlord is aware he won't make much off her stuff.
Her landlords best bet is to come to an arrangement with her...She really needs to work with the landlord unless she has already pissed him off, which I think is the case since a lock-down is usually meant to either send a very stern message or is the final straw.
I will also echo the sentiments of others: Her fundamental business plan seems to be at odds with making money.
Another option is to have someone bid on her stuff when it is liquidated. Sorry.
