[i]f a tenant does not believe a landlord’s stated reason for eviction, that tenant can file a complaint with the city. The tenant’s disbelief, even if justified, does not provide a defense to an unlawful detainer action. Once the landlord files the proper certification with the city [pursuant to SMC 22.206.160(C)(4)], the tenant’s remedy is limited to a private right of action [pursuant to SMC 22.206.160(C)(7)] if the landlord does not fulfill the stated reason for eviction. Id. (footnote omitted).
