I agree with Mr. Selik:

The proper legal action is to file a lawsuit for unlawful detainer. If it is possible, you should talk to your tenant to see if he or she has any intention of leaving, and see if he or she is making any efforts to move. Having said that, it is likely that you will at least need to file and serve the unlawful detainer lawsuit in order to compel the tenant to move.

Best of luck to you.
