2. What steps must a landlord take to remove a tenant who fails to pay his or her rent? (Hint you might want to review the landlord/tenant handbook available on the California State Web site.)
3. Explain various ways that an owner’s use of his real property can be regulated or limited. Give examples of each.
Explanation / Answer
1. In order to control the use of any invention, the first step is to get a patent for that invention.By getting a patent, one can ensure no one else makes the same product. This way one can protect one's invention. As per the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, "The office may acquire, construct, purchase, lease, hold, manage, operate, improve, alter, and renovate any real, personal, or mixed property, or any interest therein, as it considers necessary to carry out its functions." (https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/consolidated_laws.pdf). If the patent office is managing an invention, then it would be able to control the market and protect the image.
2. As per the Revised Uniform Residential Landlord And Tenant Act (2015), a landlord should give a notice of 14 days to the tenant to pay the rent and he could specify that the tenant would vacate the premises failing to pay the rent within 14 days of serving the notice.(http://www.uniformlaws.org/shared/docs/residential%20landlord%20and%20tenant/RURLTA%202015_Final%20Act_2017mar30.pdf).
3. This can be done by Zoning regulations and easements:-
Zoning Regulations- These are put into place to stop people from using their property for purposes other than they were bought/leased for.
Easements- These are permissions granted by a property owner to another individual to cross his/her property to construct a driveway or some such thing.
