Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California
I work for a company which occupies one office in a medical building. The company I work for does not own the building nor does it own the parking lot.
Every so often, we get an e-mail reminding us that former employees are not only not allowed on the premises, but also not on the parking lot.
I can understand the company saying that former employees won't be allowed back in our office, but how can they dictate that former employees can't even be on the premises or on the parking lot when we only occupy one office in that structure? Also, there are doctors in this building, so how can my company say a former employee can't see his or her doctor?
Is this legal?

They can prohibit a former employee from being on their legal premises, including parking lot spaces assigned to them, but they cannot prevent that employee from parking and visiting other offices if done with a legitimate purpose.
