Can a trial judge in a bench trial exclude any witness that was not listed during discovery? For example, if a prospective trial witness is revealed to the opposing counsel 9 months before trial, does the judge have to abide by a standard or does he/she have complete discretion as to addressing an objection to that witness's testimony?

I live in California and own a home I wish to lease. On November 5, 2011, I signed a lease agreement with a potential renter, with the term to begin on December 1, 2011. The renter left a $500 security deposit. On November 7, I wanted to add a provision to the lease prohibiting personal property storage on the outside grounds, which the renter opposed as he planned to place a storage shed on the property. The property has no backyard or side yard, only a small front yard, and we are opposed to the shed due to its potential to be an eyesore. The renter never indicated his intention to place a shed prior to signing the lease, and clause 12 of the lease agreement states the tenant will not make any repairs or alterations to the premises. My questions are: 1. Is placing a storage shed on the premise considered altering the premises, allowing us to back out of the lease agreement if we cannot reach a compromise? 2. Can we notify the renter that we do not want to lease to him due to the storage shed issue and return his uncashed $500 security deposit? 3. Was the renter obligated to inform us about his storage shed plan at the time of signing the lease?
