Landlord’s Motion For Pendente Lite Denied Despite Applebee’s $1.16M Arrears
After the landlord secured judgment on liability against Applebee's for $1.16M in rental arrears, the landlord moved to compel interim rent pendente lite. After substituting in for prior counsel, we moved to amend the answer adding a claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing arising from the landlord obstructing Applebee's ability to operate its business. In granting the amendment, the Court explained the counterclaim "could result in a potential rent abatement, set-off or even affirmative damages to defendant which exceed the rent claimed."
