for Linx). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">If you go to this page on the website, you will see that there are specialized eviction notices for King County and ALL of them seem to be for 30 days. The
10-day remedy-breach-or-vacate is 30 days, the 14-day pay/vacate is 30 days, and even the 3-day Waste / Nuisance notice is 30 days.

the whole thing will be undone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Stupid question likely, but does King County Code apply only to unincorporated King County, or all of King County? Defendant is using King County Code 12.25.030(D) in their defense for a property within Seattle city limits.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It says: Landlords shall provide at least thirty days' written notice when evicting a tenant, refusing to continue a tenancy or terminating a tenancy for a just cause enumerated in subsection A. of this section, unless a longer noticing
period is required by state law or the rental agreement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">King County Code 12.25.030(D) would essentially render the 10 day and the 14 day notice defunct in all of King County, if it applied everywhere?<o:p></o:p></p>
