TENANT’S ALLEGED FAILURE TO INSURE THE PROPERTY AND ALLEGED IMPROPER ASSIGNMENT OF THE LEASE ARE NOT DEFAULTS THAT CAN BE CURED, THEREFORE THE TENANT IS NOT ENTITLED TO A YELLOWSTONE INJUNCTION (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the tenant was not entitled to a Yellowstone injunction because the alleged failure to insure the property and the alleged improper assignment of the lease were not curable defaults:

The purpose of a Yellowstone injunction, which tolls the period in which a tenant may cure a claimed violation of the lease, is for a tenant to avoid forfeiture after a determination against it has been made on the merits, because the tenant will still have an opportunity to cure … .

A necessary lynchpin of a Yellowstone injunction is that the claimed default is capable of cure. Where the claimed default is not capable of cure, there is no basis for a Yellowstone injunction… . Here, the claimed defaults are the tenant’s failure to procure insurance and improper assignment of the lease. The tenant provides various steps that it will take to cure if it is ultimately found to be in material violation of the insurance provisions of the lease. None of these proposed cures involve any retroactive change in coverage, which means that the alleged defaults raised by the landlord are not susceptible to cure … .  * * *

We reject the tenant’s argument, that even if no Yellowstone injunction is warranted, it is still entitled to a preliminary injunction. Yellowstone injunctions are available on a far lesser showing than preliminary injunctions … . Because the Yellowstone injunction fails, the preliminary injunction does as well. In any event, no injunction is needed to preserve the status quo because the landlord cannot evict the tenant unless and until there is a determination of the merits in the landlord’s favor. If the tenant prevails, then there will be no eviction. The right lost by the denial of a Yellowstone injunction is the right to cure any default. Bliss World LLC v 10 W. 57th St. Realty LLC, 2019 NY Slip Op 01509, First Dept 3-5-19
