Enforcing writ for eviction
Hello, in January 2022 my attorney and I had signed a CR-2A agreement with my non-paying tenant and their attorney - which essentially states that the tenant will vacate the property on or by 4/30/22; if not I can immediately enforce the stipulation of writ (the writ came with the CR-2A).
My question is -
1. Since I am only three weeks away from the move-out date, how can I effectively get a pulse on whether the tenant plans to actually vacate on 4/30 or not ? I have not put my home on the market yet since I do not want to go through an additional headache of having to deal with issues with the potential future tenant in case my current deadbeat tenant does not move out timely.
2. My property is in King county, WA and if anyone recently went through an eviction and could speak about the process since it involves the King County Sheriff's department, that would be great. Any gotcha's that I should look out for? The King County Sheriff's webpage states that they can take up to 40 days to enforce the writ owing to staffing issues.
3. Anything I can do in this time window between now and 4/30 to better prepare myself should the tenant not move out on 4/30?
4. The CR-2A agreement was signed by an attorney from the Housing Justice Project as well (since my tenant got free legal representation). Does this put some responsibility on the tenant's attorney too?
