What Happened: One nonpaying tenant that didn’t catch a break from the courts was the one that leased store space for use as a boxing studio. The lease obligated the tenant to “pursue and diligently prosecute a change” in zoning that would allow the property to be used for such purposes. Alas, the zoning board never issued the necessary certificate of occupancy. With the tenant now in bankruptcy, the landlord asked the court to declare the tenant in default so it could sue for money damages later.
