Tenant has a balance on their own business tax - can a lien be put on landlord's property?
I have a commercial property where the former tenant is a small restaurant. I recently found out that the former tenant has not paid a good amount of business tax to the California Board of Equalization. Property taxes which I pay are up to date.
The tenant uses my building's address as his mailing address even though I know his personal address.
I'm concerned that the California Board of Equalization would put a lien on my property and make it impossible for me to lease/sell/redevelop the property without first paying off the tenant's business tax out of my own pocket. Any thoughts?
