landlord rights - attorney referral

Ana Vhan
Posted

Hi, I am hoping someone help me out quickly here. I am looking for an attorney in Washington state who can help with some issues we have with the tenants right now.

The 12 month lease is expiring by August end and despite numerous contacts with the tenants - they aren't communicating in a timely manner for us to move forward with a new lease or a termination. I don't want the lease to automatically go into a month to month lease as the landlord rights are limited in that case. 

Can someone talk to us and help us draw a lease asap. 

Thanks,

Ana

@Ana Vhan you can also reach out to RHAWA as they have staff attorneys that can call and ask questions of.  They are more expensive than WLA but both organizations are quite good. Based on the information provided, it seems like your lease will go will roll over to a month to month unless you have notified your tenants correctly that they lease is ending.  That said, you can still end your lease but will need to follow the new state & local regulations.

Best of luck as you navigate this situation, it is never fun but there is a process for removing tenants if that's what has to happen.
