[RPPTL Leasing Committee] License vs. Lease

[RPPTL Real Estate Leasing Committee]

I have a client who wants to structure an arrangement with a third party that will provide coffee service from the lobby of his office building as a license/service agreement vs.  a lease.  He doesn't want the "licensee" to have real property rights and wants to be able to use self-help to get the "licensee" out of his building in the event of a default.

Can an unlawful detainer action be prosecuted as quickly and efficiently as an eviction action?

What other issues do you see that would be problematic with denominating this relationship as a license?
