Except in the case of a mobilehome, only the tenant of the premises and the subtenant, if there is one, in actual occupation of the premises when the complaint is filed need be made a defendant in the proceeding. If any of the parties served or appearing in the proceeding have committed forcible detainer or unlawful detainer, judgment shall be rendered against the tenant or subtenant. If a person becomes a subtenant of the premises in controversy after service of notice upon the tenant, the fact that such notice was not served on each subtenant shall constitute no defense to the action. Any person who enters the premises under color of the tenant’s authority after commencement of the suit shall be bound by the judgment, the same as if they had been made a party to the action. In the case of a mobilehome, the legal and registered owners and any junior lienholder may but need not be named as defendants. [Ord. 31 § 4204, adopted, 7/12/2013.]
