[CA] How can a lender increase a loan’s principal balance while keeping the original lien priority?

A borrower has requested to increase the principal balance of an existing business-purpose loan secured by real property, and the question is how that increase should properly be structured and documented under California law so that the additional funds remain secured in the same first-priority lien position as the original loan rather than being treated as a junior advance. Specifically, what is the best and most customary approach for a lender in this situation, whether through a loan modification, restated or amended promissory note, modification of the deed of trust, or another structure, and what licensing, disclosure, or compliance considerations (if any) should be addressed when increasing the loan amount on an existing bridge loan that was brokered by a licensed real estate broker, funded by a licensed lending entity, and documented as a business-purpose transaction?

[CA] Is a three-day eviction notice valid after a landlord accepts partial rent from a commercial tenant during the month?

I am a commercial office building tenant. I have a five year signed lease. I always pay my rent in full including late fees, because the business has totally dropped off due to ICE activity in the area, forcing me to collect from my other business interest to keep this business afloat. The manager keeps insisting that I give an exact date the rent will be paid, but I've explained that I can't because I'm collecting other moneys to support this business. I constantly remind her that I always pay, but she is now getting pushy and almost disrespectful. I paid $600 of the $2500 rent on the 10th, then went to the shop to pay the balance on Saturday, February 28th, at 1pm, but found that I had been served a three day eviction notice. Now I'm confused! I was served, and it was still February. What do I do? I always pay my rent throughout the month as I make my collections, what do I do? I tried to call the manager with no answer, so I waited until Monday to see what was going on. She yelled at me the instructions to pay, but I reminded her that I was going to pay on Saturday but didn't know what to do. What are my rights?

[CA] What happens if an employee cannot return to their previous job after a workers’ compensation injury?

I'm currently off of work due to being placed on MMI from a doctor after a workers' comp injury, an ACL injury where I had surgery. While waiting for my QME to fight the restrictions, I am told that I have exhausted my leave and have to take a leave of absence. If I ever do decide to return to work, I'm unable to return to my previous job even if they lift restrictions. I'm wondering if I should hire a lawyer?
