This guide helps landlords negotiate better lease terms, control costs, and safeguard their investments.

In California, landlords must follow specific procedures when dealing with personal property left behind by tenants in a commercial lease. This includes providing written notice to the tenant and, if unclaimed, either selling or disposing of the items according to state law to avoid liability.

Evicting a commercial tenant in California requires landlords to serve a proper notice, such as a 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit, depending on the lease violation. Compliance with state laws and the lease terms is critical to ensure the eviction process is legally enforceable and avoids unnecessary delays.

A prejudgment writ of attachment is a legal tool used by commercial landlords to secure assets from tenants who owe significant unpaid rent. This remedy helps landlords protect their financial interests during litigation by ensuring the tenant’s assets are available to satisfy a potential judgment.
