Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Is it legal in a commercial lease in California for the lessor to have the option to keep the lessee's cabinetry and sinks in a build out or require them to take them out after the lease term ends and to notify them 30 days prior to the expiration of the lease which it will be?
