What Happened: February 2020 was the last month a high-end steak house restaurant tenant paid full rent. When COVID-19 hit, the restaurant had to shut down and later could open only for outdoors and indoor dining at very limited capacity. In September, the tenant moved out at the landlord’s demand. Three months later, the landlord found a replacement at a much lower rent. It then sued the tenant and guarantor for unpaid and unjust enrichment in using the space without paying rent for six months.
