As this was getting complex, we continued with eviction steps and served Unlawful Detainer (UD) summons.

If there’s still no response, you’d move forward with an unlawful detainer (eviction) through the courts.Don’t wait.

Here's a quick rundown:Serve a Notice: Start with the appropriate eviction notice 14 days for unpaid rent, 10 days for lease violations, or 3 days for serious offenses.File a Lawsuit: If the tenant doesn’t comply, file an unlawful detainer complaint in the local Superior Court.Summons the Tenant: The court will serve a summons, giving the tenant a chance to respond.Court Hearing: Present your case with proper documentation.

For pay-or-quits consider email and mail only, not in-persons unless you're leaning towards opening unlawful detainer.
