Restaurant Landlords Give Mixed Instructions to Tenants During Coronavirus | Eater
"The small cocktail bar closed on March 16—before the government order—because its 2,500-square-foot layout was built to fit roughly 60 customers in close proximity, making social distancing impossible. Staff were able to apply for unemployment early, and the owner reached out to a local management company landlord that initially issued a tenant-wide letter urging other remedies rather than nonpayment. The owner managed to pay April’s rent a few weeks late using Paycheck Protection Program funds; the landlord was ultimately understanding of the delay." - Tove Danovich
