Is you or your landlord responsibility when someone vandalized the building?
In most states, the responsibility for vandalism falls on the tenant of a building if the persons who did the vandalism were guests of the tenant. If it can be proven in court that the tenant had no knowledge of the vandalism and does not know who the criminals are, the landlord's insurance should pay for the damage.

Depending on the landlord, the results will vary. However, most landlords will not return your safety deposit AND charge you the price to replace whatever has been broken. And sadly, they are in full rights to do so...
When a commercial lease is silent on maintenance of doors would repair and replacement be Tenant's responsibility or Landlord?
Unless specifically mentioned in the lease, maintenance of the actual structure of the premises (including doors, windows...) are the responsibility of the landlord. However, if the door was in good condition at the time of lease signing and the tenant took actions that caused the door damage, the landlord would likely have a claim that the damage was not caused by normal wear and tear, but by abnormal actions by the tenant and they would be the tenant's responsibility.

In a commercial lease if the tenant changes locks does the tenant give a key to the landlord?
Yes. The building belongs to the landlord and needs the key in case of an emergency, or if a tenant abandons the property. Also, you should probably check with the landlord prior to changing locks. There might be a clause in the lease stating that only the landlord can change a lock, not the tenant.
Can a landlord evict because of damage done by accident?
Yes, a landlord can sue an evicted tenant for property damage if the tenant has caused damage to the property beyond normal wear and tear.

Can a commercial landlord keep tenants office contents for delinquent rent?
Generally, no. The landlord would have to first acquire a legal interest in the office contents, either by a signed security agreement with the tenant or by filing a lien and following up with a court order of liquidation. Of course, a tenant can certainly offer to give the landlord a commercial security interest in the office contents, or the tenant's inventory or equipment, if the tenant chooses.
Can a commercial landlord turn off electricity that he is supplying to a tenant if the tenant has not paid utilities?
Not unless the landlord has followed your state's laws regarding disconnection of utilities for nonpayment. Any landlord who disconnects the tenant's utilities (except temporarily for maintenance purposes) without following these laws will be guilty of constructive eviction. A constructively evicted tenant can sue the landlord for moving expenses and damages.
