Commission OKs amended lease for Pier restaurant after eviction dispute; tenant granted later possession date
Summary
After extended negotiations following a holdover tenant eviction, the commission approved an amendment to the Pier restaurant lease that shifts possession/commencement dates, secures a tenant release and creates a split-recovery structure for any damages recovered from the prior tenant.
The Deerfield Beach City Commission on Tuesday approved amendments to the long-term lease for the city’s Pier restaurant space, resolving months of litigation and negotiation that followed a holdover tenant eviction.
Under the amendment approved by the commission on first reading, the new tenant (originally Deerfield Beach Cafe LLC, now registered as 202 DFB LLC) receives a revised possession date of June 1, 2025, and additional time before rent commencement.
