QUESTION
Can a commercial landlord shut down a business?
Asked on May 16th, 2016 on Landlord and Tenant Law - California
More details to this question:
I was gifted a property and the tenant (a bar) has no lease. They have not paid rent since I received it in 4 months. I cannot insure my building until I can prove that my tenant has liability insurance and they will not co-operate. Can I shut down the business? If I evict them how much notice do I need to give to have a sherif lock them out when there is no rental agreement?

If the rental agreement is oral, then you can give a notice to pay rent or quit. If they don't pay, then start an unlawful detainer action.
