The only thing they’ve done to try to get the case thrown out was the attempt to force it to arbitration. They have not, notably, filed a motion to dismiss. What’s in those pleadings is just their defense. If they genuinely believed their only connection to this case was as a landlord, and they had evidence to prove that, they would have filed a motion to dismiss. They did not. Their defense may include an argument that they’re just a landlord, but they apparently know that’s not true, or they would have filed a motion to dismiss, as I and @MagicFox have pointed out.
