No. 84119-0-I/17

three-day pay or vacate notice when lease provided for 10 days); Cmty. Invs.,

Ltd., 36 Wn. App. at 37-38 (landlord provided two conflicting notices, one

providing for 10 days to pay or vacate, and the other providing for the 20 days

required by the lease). Here, the conflicting notices provided by Sherwood

Auburn were misleading and equivocal and failed to adequately, precisely, and

correctly inform the tenants of the rights to which they were entitled. 11

Because Pinzon and Mendez were not afforded clear and accurate notice,

the superior court was without the authority to issue a writ of restitution or enter

judgment against them. 12 Accordingly, we reverse the superior court’s order and

remand for dismissal of the unlawful detainer action. 13
