Here, too, the government has not required a physical invasion of
                   plaintiffs’ property. Instead, plaintiffs have voluntarily rented their
                   land to residential tenants and temporarily lost the ability to evict
                   tenants in certain situations during the COVID-19 crisis and for six
                   months after September 30, 2021. Contrary to plaintiffs’ arguments,
                   none of the restrictions are permanent. Plaintiffs retained the ability
                   to sue their tenants for unpaid rent due to COVID-19 under the State
                   moratorium, except where the resident had not been offered or was
                   complying with a repayment plan. The City allows tenants to take
                   advantage of a repayment plan, but neither the City nor the State has
                   forgiven or cancelled unpaid rent. Id. at *16.
