Guidance Through Washington's Eviction Process

Navigating the eviction process, known in Washington as an "unlawful detainer action," requires adherence to state and local regulations. While the process shares similarities across counties, specific procedural nuances can arise.

Structured Approach to Evictions

Our role in supporting you through this process includes:

1. Issuing a Clear Written Notice: We meticulously draft eviction notices, ensuring legal compliance and clarity regarding the tenant's breach of contract and the opportunity for remedy, if applicable.
2. Preparation of Legal Forms: Our team adeptly prepares all necessary legal documents, reflecting the precise requirements of your case..
3. Legal Document Service: We coordinate the delivery of documents through legally recognized channels, ensuring proper service to tenants.
4. Court Representation: Attending trials on your behalf, we present a robust case supported by concrete evidence and legal expertise.
5. Judicial Follow-up: Awaiting and interpreting the court's judgment, we provide clear next steps and guidance.

Reasons for Eviction and Property Manager Support

Evictions typically stem from:

• Non-payment of Rent: We facilitate a swift response to delinquencies with a 14-Day Notice to Pay or Vacate, urging prompt resolution or advancing to eviction if necessary.
• Lease Violations: Tailored notices, such as the 10-Day Notice to Comply, are issued to address specific infractions, urging tenant correction or proceeding with legal action when compliance fails.
• Lease Non-Renewal: We manage lease-end processes and, if tenancy is undesired beyond the term, ensure timely communication and legal steps to regain property possession.

Eviction Lawsuit and Landlord Support

Upon expiration of the notice period without tenant remedy, we initiate the unlawful detainer action. Our expertise ensures:

• Correct Filings: Ensuring all court filings are accurate to avoid delays or dismissals.
• Timely Actions: Adhering to all notice and filing timelines for a streamlined process.
• Detailed Evidence Preparation: Collecting and presenting all necessary evidence, from rental agreements to payment records, to support your case.
