Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Commercial rental agreement

Whether your landlord can terminate your lease is based on the terms of the lease. Generally, a landlord can terminate your lease for breach (e.g. non payment of rent or breach of other covenant such as failure to maintain the parking area or an authorized assignment).

A lease may also be terminated at the end of the term. You need to review the lease terms as that will govern the grounds the lease may or may not be terminated by either party. If you do not understand the lease provisions speak with an attorney experienced with commercial leases. They are typically complex documents to understand.

Re: Commercial rental agreement

The answer to your question is "it depends." It depends on whether you have a lease or not, and if you do, is it a term lease, or a month-to-month lease. Go back and read whatever lease you have, and it should tell you if your landlord can terminate your tenancy without any reason. If you have no lease, then absolutely, the landlord can terminate your tenancy without any reason. You may wish to have an attorney review your lease if you feel that the termination of your tenancy is in violation of your lease.

Re: Commercial rental agreement

Obviously not. Whatever the termination provisions are in the lease determine how it must be done.

Re: Commercial rental agreement

If you do not have a specified term (i.e., 1 year) then yes, usually upon 60 days notice.
