[WSBARP] Is a 20 day Notice to Terminate Tenancy under 59.18.200 sufficient to evict?

[Julie Vance]

Hypothetical Facts:  A Landlord wants to terminate a month to month rental that was initially a year long lease approximately ten years ago.  Landlord formally served a 20 Day Notice to Terminate for Tenancy on Tenant more than 60 days prior to initiating the eviction process.

Issues:

  1.  Is 20 Day Notice to Terminate sufficient as it is listed under RCW 59.18.200?
  2.  What triggers the longer and more restrictive RCW 59.18.650?

I would appreciate all opinions on this conflict between RCW 59.18.200 and 59.18.650!

Sincerely
