Correct me if I am wrong, but I think California is one of the only states that allow a tenant to run a daycare out of their rental home even if the landlord is not okay with it.
I think in Cheers case, her state says the landlord DOES have the right to evict or be aware of whether a tenant has a daycare business.
In my state, you cant run a child care out of a rental home UNLESS the landlord says you can. If you do you ARE operating illegally.
