California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 4 — Obligations Arising from Particular Transactions, Title 5 — Hiring, Chapter 7 — Use Restrictions, Article 2 — Use Restrictions, Section 1997.220
An ambiguity in a restriction on use of leased property by a tenant shall be construed in favor of unrestricted use.
Notes
Requires ambiguity in a restriction on a tenant’s use of leased property to be construed in favor of unrestricted use. When the restriction’s meaning is ambiguous, the interpretive rule favors unrestricted use of the leased property rather than construing the ambiguity in favor of a use restriction.
