What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OR

As I posted about previously I lease part of a commercial building and I'm doing absolutely everything in my power to get my stupid neighbor evicted/arrested/deported. I'm tired of playing nice with the landlord and I will no longer be paying rent while he continues to be a nuisance.

Anyway, my question is, what kind of eviction notice does the landlord have to give for commercial property? Does it have to be a full 30 days or can it be shorter than that?

If you fail to pay your rent, you can be served a 72-hr notice to pay or quit if at least 7 days has passed since rent was due.

Unfortunately, you have no control over what the LL does with his other tenants. Refusing to pay rent will just get you evicted, and sooner than 30 days.

How unfortunate that you believe you can force your LL to bend to your demands by withholding rent. You will end up being sued and evicted faster than you can say "abracadabra". Why don't you just leave & break your lease instead?

That wasn't my question, and my fight with the landlord is irrelivant here. As I said in my previous post I'm not moving, that's why I signed a lease in the first place. Don't go there. Can we stick to this please?

Your lease document rules....in MANY states, commercial landlords can actually LOCK OUT A NON PAYING TENANT with no notice and no provision for the removal of business fixtures, records or client belongings.....as a commercial tenant, you have little or no recourse and withholding your rent not advisable....

Your lease document is your contract with the Landlord. In a commercial lease, you have no protections that a residential tenant might have.

What does your lease document say in regards to non-payment?

My commercial leases will automatically accelerate the lease to the full amount remaining under the term if the rent is past due more than 10 days after I provide written notice of the past due rent.

Be very careful if you try to take this course. Have you considered consulting with a local attorney? Money spent now might save you thousands later if you do something without knowing the full consequences.

Wow, four replies and still nobody even paid attention to the question asked. :rolleyes:

I spoke too soon though, I just found a letter in my mailbox from the LL stating that his lease is up at the end of this month and he will not be allowed to renew. She also told him he would be charged for the rent I refuse to pay every time he causes a problem. (on a prorated daily basis) The cold war is over, USA wins again. :D

Your question WAS answered. The law does NOT specify any particular number of days of notice that a landlord must give a tenant. ONLY the lease will govern this. If the lease specifies a number of days, then that is what a landlord must give. If the lease does NOT specify, then as many or as few as he wants, and he doesn't need permission from the courts before locking someone out. If the tenant feels his contract has been breached, then he would have to sue the landlord in civil court.

Generally speaking, the law does not give a crap about commercial tenants, that is a business relationship governed solely by the contract.

LL's blowing smoke on that one. I guess "appeasement" is in full force and effect :rolleyes:

Is that why she kicked out the neighbor and is doing everything in her power to make me happy? :rolleyes: I'm a paying customer, with a pretty solid contract. She's going to everything she can to keep me happy...

Your LL is trying to keep you because she likes you. That doesn't change the LAW on the matter. :rolleyes:
