¶15 Once the tenant is served with three 15-day notices to comply or vacate within one year, a landlord may commence an unlawful detainer action. The general unlawful detainer statute, chapter 59.12 RCW, provides a landlord with a statutory means to terminate a tenancy before the end of the rental term. The purpose of unlawful detainer under chapter 59.12 RCW is to provide landlords with a speedy, efficient procedure by which to evict a tenant and obtain possession of the premises after a breach by the tenant or for certain activities on the premises. Christensen v. Ellsworth, 162 Wn.2d 365, 375-76, 173 P.3d 228 (2007).
