My question involves an eviction in the state of: California
I own a commercial building and the tenant is a machine shop. Due to the economy the rent was lowered from $10,000 per month to an agreed $8,000 per month, and the machine shop is still not able to pay there rent. They still owe rent for the previous month, this month, and upcoming rent in october.
Can you please tell me what I should do? Can I put a lien on his machines to make sure that if he goes out of business, which is a good possibility, that I can still get my rent?
Should I evict him?
any information would really benefit.
Thank you Very much!
