(2) In reaching this conclusion, we recognize that the remedy of unlawful detainer established by the Code of Civil Procedure (§§ 1161-1179) generally requires absolute compliance with the statutory notice requirements. (See, e.g., Briggs v. Electronic Memories & Magnetics Corp. (1975) 53 Cal. App.3d 900, 905 [126 Cal. Rptr. 34]; Davidson v. Quinn (1982) 138 Cal. App.3d Supp. 9, 11-12 [188 Cal. Rptr. 421].) Because the essential purpose of the Code of Civil Procedure's unlawful detainer provisions is to enable a landlord expeditiously and summarily to regain possession of real property wrongfully withheld by a tenant, the courts have insisted upon strict compliance. (Davidson v. Quinn, supra, 138 Cal. App.3d Supp. at p. 11; see Briggs v. Electronic Memories & Magnetics Corp., supra, 53 Cal. App.3d at p. 906 and fn. 5; see also, Fifth & Broadway Partnership v. Kimny, Inc. (1980) 102 Cal. App.3d 195, 202 [162 Cal. Rptr. 271, 7 A.L.R.4th 580].)
