Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: commercial lease

It really depends on what transpired during the term of the lease, whether the tenant breached the lease or caused the landlord damages, and whether the tenant properly moved out upon lease termination.

Let me know if you have any further questions. We practice real estate law throughout Southern California.

Re: commercial lease

Yes. If the lessee leaves (breaches) the agreement before the end of the term, the landlord is entitled to the rent that should have been paid to the end of the lease; subject to the landlord "mitigating" its damages. Further, if the lessee damages the property, the landlord is entitled to whatever amount is necessary to repair the damage
