Would like input on this eviction in California

[Christine I.]

Deadbeat tenant who lived with his mother. The mother passed due to Covid and that was the last rent that I saw for that unit. He did apply for the California Covid rental relief and I did get money to bring him up to date. As soon as I could file for eviction I did. He requested a trial which is set for July 5, 2022. His only defense is Covid-related which is no longer valid so pretty sure he will lose and it takes about 2 weeks for a lock-out date. That means he will be out mid-late July. At this time he owes $3000. He has contacted an attorney who has offered me a deal. Deadbeat tenant will be out June 24. Leave the place broom clean for what that's worth. He gets a free pass as I will not be able to send him to collections (probably no money anyway, not sure if he is working) and no record of an eviction. I hate the thought that he will move on to the next landlord and repeat. Obviously the advantage is I will have possession of the apartment a lot sooner if I agree. Would you accept this deal?
