They argue, “Just as the unlawful detainer act grants landlords an accelerated eviction process unknown at common law, the [JCEO] grants tenants additional procedural and substantive rights unknown at common law.’’ Id. Because the unlawful detainer act is in derogation of the common law, it is strictly construed in favor of the tenant. Id. According to Landlords, it therefore follows that the JCEO, which is also in derogation of the common law, should be strictly construed in favor of the landlord. Id. at 10. While this argument has some logical appeal, it overlooks the fact that the proceeding at issue is actually an unlawful detainer action, not a special proceeding under the JCEO. Even if we agree that tenants must strictly comply with JCEO provisions (for example, by *321making a timely complaint to the director under subsection (C)(4)), this does not lessen the burden on landlords to establish just cause for eviction. Compare RCW 59.18.200(l)(a) (requiring only that a residential landlord in Washington provide a tenant with 20 days’ advance written notice), with SMC 22.206.160(C)(1) (requiring a residential landlord in Seattle to have “just cause’’ before evicting a tenant).
