The next step depends on the contents of the "legal court I quit papers" that you have already served on the tenant. If the notice of failure to pay or quit was prepared properly, and the time allowed to pay or leave has passed, your next step would be to go to court and file a complaint requesting return of the property. Evictions can be complicated. If you can't afford an attorney, you will want to attend a free legal clinic to get advice. Contact the state bar office in your state, or the nearest law school to find the clinic and hours.

Assuming that you served this tenant with a notice to pay or quit, that strictly complies with all of California's technicalities, the next step would be to prosecute an eviction action against the tenant.

You file a quit notice. Go to your local district court and obtain a complaint for re-possession and damages. A third party (other than yourself) must serve the complaint along with a summons. The court will schedule a hearing within a few weeks. Once the judge grants an eviction order, the individual has 30 days to vacate. If the tenant refuses to leave, then the sheriff will physically move the individual out. You may wish to contact an attorney.

You need to get an eviction order telling the sheriff to take that person's property out of the house.
