Defendant remained in the premises, and on December 23, 1997, plaintiffs initiated the present action by filing a complaint in unlawful detainer against defendant and Michael Nnadi-Nwazurumike. Plaintiffs alleged that they had leased the premises to Nnadi-Nwazurumike under a written lease, a copy of which was attached; that defendants other than Nnadi-Nwazurumike (i.e., defendant) were subtenants; and that “the tenant herein” had terminated the tenancy by serving a written notice, a copy of which was attached, which was “accepted in writing by the landlord,” terminating the tenancy on December 17, 1997. Alleging that “[a] written agreement between the parties provides for attorney fees,” plaintiffs prayed for costs including attorneys’ fees, plus damages for holding over.
