What Happened: From March to October, a steakhouse couldn’t come up with its monthly rent because of the COVID-19 public health orders restricting indoor dining, the meat and potatoes of its business. But the steakhouse tried its best to be a faithful tenant. First, it asked for a rent abatement of at least 50 percent. The landlord ignored and later rejected the request. And when business improved in November, the steakhouse sent the landlord a check covering not only November but also the previous eight months plus interest and late fees.
