“A Court hearing is pending on motions to determine the rent amount due to be paid into the court registry while the litigation, including the City’s eviction action against the tenant, takes its course. Class Act Restaurant Group has made no attempt to pay rent as it is required to do by statute. As you know, Class Act Restaurant Group, LLC, has continued to occupy the premises even though their lease with the City expired on October 27, 2023. The City asserts that the Class Act Restaurant Group, LLC, owes $57,672.14 for every month Class Act has wrongfully held over its tenancy after the date its Lease expired. The City has diligently pursued hearing dates from the court, despite opposition from Class Act, and is waiting to hear back from the Court on a date that the hearing on the motions to determine rent will take place.”
