114 Wn.2d at 563. The statutes permit a landlord to commence eviction proceedings based upon certain tenant breaches or violations but require the landlord to provide the tenant with proper notice. RCW 59.12.030(3)-(5), (7). Failure to comply with the notice requirement defeats the court’s jurisdiction over the action. See Terry, 114 Wn.2d at 564 (citing Sowers v. Lewis, 49 Wn.2d 891, 894, 307 P.2d 1064 (1957)); Kessler v. Nielsen, 3 Wn. App. 120, 123, 472 P.2d 616 (1970).
