Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Not an eviction, Terminating Tenancy

When renters state they wont leave after a 30 day notice is issued, but before the 30 days is up,what is the quickest legal step to get them out. must we wait the 30 days, or should we start eviction procedures? Do we have any legal recourse without the eviction process? What forms should we have prepared to take to court to insure an unlawful detainer, garnishment of wages,& sherrifs assistance, assuming we would win. How long could an eviction process take?
