Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
After 22 yrs in business my landlords gave m a 30 day ntice to vacate. My rent wash up to date, but they had rasie my rent earlier in the yr, even though the busines was struggling to make it. And hey put me on a month to month lease. I then stared asking them to fix the place up, parking lot needed repaved, fences were falling down. Then they stuck a big FOR SALE sign out front. Then we started squabbling, me asking to lower the rent or I wasen't going to make it to 2012. Then I got the notice to vacate on 11/01/11. What a shock! Everything I have is in that business. Now I will have no imcome at all. Just like that they wipe your life away and your only means of support. So I am forced to file bankruptcy. I feel its in retaliation for me challenging them. Do I have any recourse?

It does not sound like it. You did not raise any issues of health or safety so there is no presumption of retaliation, the 60 day notice requirement I believe is only for residential leases.
