Higuchi Rice Balls is once again embroiled in controversy as the landlady and the owner couple had an intense confrontation late at night, startling nearby residents. This incident took place in Kaohsiung, where the two parties had previously clashed two months ago. It was thought the matter had settled with the announcement of the store's relocation, but tensions flared again on the evening of the 16th.

According to reports, around 9 PM on the 16th, the landlady was heard crying out for help on the roadside, alarming neighbors. The owner of Higuchi Rice Balls responded softly, creating a scene that drew the attention of surrounding residents. After the police arrived, the landlady claimed the couple only paid utility bills for this month and attempted to use the security deposit to cover the rent, which led to her eviction and triggered the altercation.

The wife of the owner stated that the landlady kicked in the front door and attempted to push someone on the stairs, prompting her husband to act in self-defense. They are now preparing to file charges for trespassing, damage, and threats. Meanwhile, the landlady has accused the Higuchi owner of assault. Some users on PTT commented that if the landlady's claims are true, Higuchi Rice Balls may not have a strong legal position, given that rental agreements stipulate security deposits cannot be used as rent.
