Strong advice with an implied negative consequence.
Why you specifically

The rule
Had better is a fixed phrase used for strong advice, warnings, or recommendations. It is followed by the base form of the verb: had better leave, had better not be late. The meaning often includes an implied bad result if the advice is ignored.
The trap

You had better to leave now.
You had better leave now.
Had better is followed by the base form of the verb, not to + verb.
She had better sees a doctor.
She had better see a doctor.
After had better, we use the bare infinitive, so the -s ending is wrong here.
We had better no be late.
We had better not be late.
To make the advice negative, put not after had better.
You have better finish the report today.
You had better finish the report today.
Had better is a fixed modal-like phrase, so it does not change to 'have better'.
