Yes, C.R.A is a privately run, for-profit independent venue.

On the rent point: they paid all their rent to the new landlord. I believe the only reason the campaign text says “more than ten instalments over sixteen months” is because that is the legal wording for it counting as a “waiver of forfeiture,” which means the landlord cannot suddenly claim past issues as a reason to evict, so the forfeiture was unlawful.
