What rights and responsibilities do landlords have under commercial real estate law?

In California, landlords have certain rights and responsibilities under commercial real estate law. Generally speaking, they have the right to charge rent and other costs, such as security deposits, to the tenant. Landlords are also allowed to set the rules of the tenancy and to enforce those rules. Landlords are also responsible for maintaining the premises and ensuring that all necessary repairs are made. They must also generally comply with state and local health and safety regulations as well as other laws related to the rental of the property. Landlords are also responsible for protecting the tenant’s privacy and for treating all tenants fairly and equitably. In addition, commercial landlords owe a duty of good faith and fair dealing to their tenants. Landlords may also be liable for any injuries that occur on the premises. They may be required to carry liability insurance in order to protect themselves from any potential claims or lawsuits brought against them by a tenant or visitor. Finally, landlords must be sure to follow all termination and eviction laws when evicting a tenant. In California, landlords must provide a 30-day notice of termination in most cases prior to evicting a tenant. Additionally, landlords must provide a valid reason for evicting a tenant and cannot evict a tenant without cause.
