¶18 Few cases have discussed Seattle’s JCEO. The parties direct us to Housing Authority v. Silva, 94 Wn. App. 731, 972 P.2d 952 (1999), but it does not address the issue in this case. Br. of Appellants at 31-32; Suppl. Br. of Resp’ts at 16. In Silva, the court held that the landlord did not have just cause under SMC 22.206.160(C)(1)(d) because the landlord provided the tenant with only two 10-day notices within a 12-month period, while the ordinance required three notices. 94 Wn. App. at 736. Silva demonstrates that tenants can use the landlord’s lack of just cause as a defense in an eviction action. Beyond that, Silva does not help us resolve the issue in the present case.
