Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

my tenant did not pay rent and then they said they were breaking their lease and moving out by 4-20. today is 4-25 and they still have belongings in the house and we have no way to contact them. The neighbors say they haven't seen the tenants in a month. We went to file a UD and the Kern County Courts told us we couldn't because they weren't really living there. What can we do to get our home back? They were only 6 months into a 1 year lease

You can either file an unlawful detainer or you can proceed with what is called tenant abandonment of the lease. In either case, I suggest you seek legal assistance from an attorney, and not from the clerks of the court who are not authorized to give legal advice.
