(f) The lien of the judgment or of any levy or attachment shall be preserved while the proceedings to strike off or open the judgment are pending.

Defendant Koste Seven, Inc., has repeatedly contacted the agents for Plaintiffs notifying them that payments are current and asking them to substantiate their claim that past due rent is due. 6.

The Plaintiffs have themselves defaulted on the terms of the lease by their failure to maintain the premises in accordance with the terms of the lease. 8. Defendant Koste Seven, Inc., is engaged in the restaurant business and any attempt to remove it from the premises at this time will have a substantial effect on its ability to continue in business. 9. Defendant Koste Seven, Inc., will suffer irreparable harm if this Court does not grant a stay of the proceedings pending the resolution of this matter since it has operated its business at this location for many years as an established restaurant in the area and cannot operate at any other location at this time.
