What does the landlord do after giving notice to the tenant?

Wait until the notice period is up to see if the tenant does what the notice asks within the time allowed. If the tenant does not comply, the landlord can file an unlawful detainer in court to evict the tenant and collect back rent.

If the tenant does what the notice requires (like, pay the back rent in full), then the landlord cannot file an unlawful detainer.
