Yes, assuming that the 60 day notice was served correctly, and that the notice itself was properly worded, you will then file an unlawful detainer lawsuit in state court. It is generally best to retain an attorney at this point to handle the matter, as pro-per landlords can sometime negotiate the courts, but often stumble and waste more time and money than they would have spent had they just retained an attorney up front. Good luck.

Re: 60 day notice

If the tenant has not vacated then you need to lawfully evict them by filing a unlawful detainer complaint. I recommend you speak with local attorney who is experienced in unlawful detainers.
