Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Sorry, but your bill of sale from the business owner is not binding on the landlord. I would strongly suggest that before you remove anything from that property that is attached in anyway to the building, you discuss it with the landlord, and get his written consent. I can guarantee that if you remove sinks and mirrors glued to the wall, the landlord is going to come after you for removing "fixtures" from the property that belong to him. EVEN IF the prior business owner installed them, many times in commercial tenancies many of the improvements installed by the business owner become property of the landlord upon installation and cannot be removed without permission of the landlord. A little time up front spent negotiating with the landlord will save you thousands in legal fees later. Also, make sure you get whatever agreement you have in writing.
