Regarding the February through March 2000 rental defaults, the Hwangs were served with a 10-day notice to pay rent or quit the premises. They tendered the two newer months rent prior to the 10 days, but this amount was improperly rejected as insufficient. MH2 then filed this unlawful detainer action at the end of the 10-day period incorrectly seeking both the older and newer rents. In an unlawful detainer action, the trial court is limited to either (1) entering a judgment in favor of the defendant by dismissing the action with prejudice, or (2) rendering a judgment in favor of the plaintiff. Sundholm v. Patch, 62 Wn.2d 244, 246, 382 P.2d 262 (1963). As noted, the incidental issue of whether rents are due is customarily decided at the same time. Munden, 105 Wn.2d at 45.
