He could properly re-serve the original summons and complaint. He could re-file a new unlawful detainer complaint based upon a 3 day notice to pay rent or quit. Or he could wait until the 30 days expires and file a new unlawful detainer complaint based on the 30 day notice of termination.

   Good luck

To answer your comment question, once the notice period expires and you have not either paid or moved out, he will file another Unlawful Detainer action, to which you should file an Answer or, if the circumstances are right, a demurrer or another Motion to Quash service.

Perhaps you can try to negotiate a resolution out of court. Anyway good luck and perhaps getting some legal advice would be helpful.
