Hawthorne Investment, LLC v. Lam CA4/14
Hawthorne Investment, LLC sought to evict Quan Thiet Lam after Lam failed to pay rent under a commercial lease. Following a bench trial, the trial court awarded Hawthorne possession of the premises, damages, and other relief.
Lam claims the court improperly disallowed his contract defense as well as his defense based on the common law implied warranty of habitability. Alternatively, he urges us to take a precedent-setting step by extending this warranty beyond residential tenants to commercial tenants like him. We affirm. Statutory citations are to the Code of Civil Procedure
