Defendent not responding to deficiency notice

[Anjali L.]

I recently filed a Special Civils part for non payment of rent for monetary judgement for my tenant. She hired a cheap lawyer who responded to the Summons. However, he incorrectly filed the form and was sent a Deficiency notice. It has been two weeks that they haven't responded to the deficiency notice. I called their office multiple times to remind them to do so , so I can get a court hearing date. Any suggestions or recommendations on how to proceed or what happens if they don't respond to the deficiency notice?
