Synopsis
The tenant sued the landlord, alleging breach of contract, promissory estoppel, breach of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment. The landlord had allegedly promised to convert the building into a low-income cooperative under the TIL program. The court affirmed the denial of the landlord's motion to dismiss, allowing the claims to proceed, as the tenant plausibly alleged a contract, fiduciary relationship, and detrimental reliance on the landlord's promises.
