§ 21106. In Unlawful Detainer, Tenant Alone May be Made Defendant.

No person, other than the tenant of the premises and subtenant, if there

be one, in actual occupation of the premises when the complaint is filed need

be made party defendant in the proceeding, nor shall any proceeding abate,

nor the plaintiff be nonsuited for the nonjoinder of any person who might

have been made party defendant, but when it appears that any of the parties

served with process, or appearing in the proceeding, is guilty of the offense

charged, judgment must be rendered against him. In case a defendant has

become a subtenant of the premises in controversy, after the service of the

notice provided for by subsection (b) of § 21103 of this Chapter upon the

tenant of the premises, the fact that such notice was not served on such

subtenant shall constitute no defense to the action. In case a married woman

be a tenant, or a subtenant, her coverture shall constitute no defense; but in

case her husband be not joined, or unless she be doing business as a sole

trader, an execution issued upon a personal judgment against her can only be

enforced against property on the premises at the commencement of the

action. All persons who enter the premises under the tenant, after the

commencement of the suit, shall be bound by the judgment, the same as if he

or they had been made party to the action.
