Forum / General Property Management / Smoking violation

I have found ash and cigarette stub on the deck of my basement studio, as well as pungent smoke odor crawling up through the vents into my upper floor. Today I have issued verbal warning, showed my tenant the cigarette stubs I found outside the studio, and I will follow up with violation notice from your document libary. What should be my next step if the tenant does not comply? I live in California.

RE: Smoking violation

Provided, you have a no smoking clause in your lease; I would think you rcould send the required notice in California for lease violations in order to start eviction.
