Tenant rights termination of leases
I have leased a business office in California. The landlord wants me to sign an updated lease agreement which does not specify the length of the term of the lease.. . Previously it was month to month. That section is left blank. I do not like leaving blanks on a contract.
What really concerns me is that if the rent is late five days, the lease agreement specifically states that the landlord can terminate the lease with 3 days notice and take possession of the equipment and possession of Tenant.
I have never been even one day late on the rent; however, if something should happen.. . Car accident, illness, hospitalization.. . I could lose everything in my office--furniture, equipment, etc. after eight days according to this. I been leasing office space for over 10 years with other landlords, and I have never seen anything like this. My customer records are the property of the corporate office; and I am extremely worried about signing something like this. Does this violate any California tenant rights law?

The landlord also want the tenant to assume all responsibility for paying all the repairs for wiring, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, all equipment and anything that requires repair. That is the equivalent of asking me to write a blank check. There
