 Typically yes it's different. Usually much easier. For example in my market (Cleveland, Ohio) so long as you have disclosed in the lease agreement that you do self help evictions they are completely legal to do to commercial tenants. That means no lengthy court process. Just change the locks or board up the building after proper notices have been posts......Easy.
