v. Motta, supra, at p. 113.) An unlawful detainer action "'is a statutory proceeding and is governed solely by the provisions of the statute creating it.' [Citations.] As special proceedings are created and authorized by statute, the jurisdiction over any special proceeding is limited by the terms and conditions of the statute under which it was authorized [citation], and.... [t]he statutory procedure must be strictly followed. [Citations.]" (Kwok v. Bergren (1982) 130 Cal.App.3d 596, 599-600.)
