Your situation with the commercial kitchen landlord sounds incredibly frustrating and potentially illegal. Self-help evictions, where landlords lock tenants out without proper legal process, are prohibited in California under Civil Code 789.3.

Based on California law, your uncle-in-law had no legal right to force you out of the home where you were established tenants. After living there for nearly two years, you have strong tenant rights, regardless of whether you paid rent or had a formal lease agreement.
The law requires proper... View More

This situation likely does not constitute unlawful discrimination. Different requirements for long-term tenants versus day-use customers are common and legally permissible when there's a legitimate business reason for the distinction.
The key factor here is the nature of your... View More

I already rented out my home and now the mortgage company only approved me to not occupy for 6 months but I signed a 12 month lease with a tenant.
The mortgage company wants a copy of my lease but I am afraid that they will accelerate the loan if I show them it’s a 12 month lease.... View More

I can't speak to the mortgage company issue, as I don't handle that area of law. As to whether you can make the Tenant move out early: the simple answer is no.
You can negotiate with the Tenant, but as long as the Tenant is keeping to the terms and conditions of the lease, they... View More

In my current situation, the landlord did not provide a renewal offer until after my 60 day notice to vacate deadline had passed. Going forward, do I have the right to ask in writing for a renewal offer prior to the 60 day deadline, and would the landlord be obligated to comply with my request?
Am I ending tenancy due to unpaid rent (3 days), or due to abandonment (18 days), and then am I ignoring rent?

Based on California law, you'll want to handle this as an abandonment case since the tenant has already moved out. The key factor isn't the unpaid rent - it's that they've vacated without proper notice. You should first document the abandonment by taking photos and noting when... View More

In California, when a tenant has moved out but left belongings behind without providing written notice, you can start the legal abandonment process. Document all attempts to contact the tenant requesting written notice, including texts, emails, or certified letters.
