TIP

The fact that a defendant became a subtenant after the tenant was served with a notice to terminate is no defense to a UD action. Any subtenant who takes possession after the commencement of the UD action is bound by the judgment even if he or she was never made a party to the action. [See CCP §1164; Four Seas Investment Corp. v International Hotel Tenants’ Ass’n (1978) 81 CA3d 604, 611–612.]
