Tenant (CA) Vacated Room w/out notice to LL before Eviction

[Tony Wang]

Hi BP,

We have a tenant that MIGHT have vacated from the room rental without completing a final inspection walk-thru that was previously agreed upon.  I have knocked on her door, though no sign of anyone inside room for about 4 days now.  We are in process of eviction.  She does have her couple items left outside her room and MIGHT be more inside the locked room, though I do not know for sure because I do not care to enter her room without advance notice to her. 

What are the CORRECT, LEGAL protocols to make at this juncture?  Do I text/call her? Do I text her to give her advance notice of my intent to enter the room?  She could have moved out, or if worse, fallen ill inside her room, and I wouldn't know.  Mean time, she is practically squatting without paying rent and we must resolve this mini crisis because we are loosing rental income for couple months now and hefty eviction/court fees as the days drag on.  Please help!  Your advise and insight are much appreciated.
