What Happened: The landlord sued a dry-cleaning tenant for nearly $200,000 in damages, including $46,733 in unpaid rent that accrued up to the time the tenant vacated. It also went after the good guy guarantor that “unconditionally, irrevocably and as a primary obligor” guaranteed the tenant’s “full and faithful performance and observance” of the lease terms. The trial court rejected the tenant’s COVID-19 force majeure, frustration of purpose, and other defenses and awarded the landlord summary judgment.
