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, COL372014 CH. 21 FORCIBLE ENTRY AND DETAINER 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.
