                     Washington courts have repeatedly held that when a tenant is entitled to more notice
          than that provided by the unlawful detainer statute, a landlord can commence an unlawful
          detainer action only after affording the greater notice period. “When a tenant contracts with his
          landlord for a notice period longer than the statutory period, he is entitled to the full time stated
          just as he is under the statute.” Cmty. Invs., Ltd. v. Safeway Stores, Inc., 36 Wn. App. 34, 38,
          671 P.2d 289 (1983) (holding that unlawful detainer action could not be sustained when landlord
          filed the action 19 days after providing notice of default when the lease provided a 20-day
          opportunity to cure). See also Heuft, 141 Wn. App. at 629, 633 (vacating judgment against tenant
          when landlord provided less than the 10-day notice required by the lease).
