    Sorry, no you have no rights beyond what your lease and local law give you. I don't know of anyplace that gives extra rights because of longevity. And, if the area is not zoned for commercial use, running a business might even be a problem.

    I'll assume you are currently on a month to month basis or that your current lease term expires on 4/30. If that is the case, then the landlord is probably within his rights to give you one full month's notice to vacate (ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.)
