A court granted a commercial tenant’s motion for injunctive relief enjoining the landlord from seeking to terminate the commercial lease or evicting or taking any steps to evict the tenant pending the disposition of this action. The court also held that the “period for replenishing the tenant’s security deposit…is tolled pending disposition of the action.”

In May 2017, the tenant had entered into its lease for the purpose of operating an indoor dining restaurant. On March 16, 2020, the Governor issued an Executive Order (“EO”) 202.3 that “suspended indoor dining within the State of New York until further notice to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In accordance with the (EO), the tenant suspended its indoor restaurant operation, and has not employed the premises for such purposes at least until November 2020.”
