Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: Commercial lease guarantor notice

As a general rule, yes, the guarantor should receive notice if the landlord elects to declare a default. That being said, you would need to review the language contained in the lease agreement to determine if it provides otherwise. The California legislature and courts have given commercial leases a great deal of deference in terms of allowing waivers of specifics rights and obligations. Check the lease before you act in reliance on the general rule.
