Accordingly, the statutory remedy of forfeiture under chapter 59.12 RCW is no longer available to the landlord, and the statute’s doubling provisions do not apply to the older noncontinuing breach. The sole remaining remedy is under the lease’s default provisions. Here, it is worth noting that the nonwaiver provisions in paragraph 22 do not contain specific language regarding retention of the right of forfeiture after acceptance of subsequent rents. See Wilson, 31 Wn.2d at 642. Since the statute is in derogation of common law, it must be construed in favor of the tenant. Id. at 643-44. Thus, we believe Finding of Fact 5 pertains solely to defaults under the lease rather than statutory unlawful *685detainer, and for the reasons discussed below that wording is incorrect but inconsequential. In any event, MH2 cannot claim statutory doubling for the older rent defaults because it could not invoke statutory forfeiture.
