Greetings,
My property manager here in WA state did not put in the lease the requirements for notice to vacate/ # of days notice tenant must give before vacating. Current tenant wants to move at end of month, so is giving about 12 days notice.
1. If no description of this in lease what is required of the tenant? Nothing? Follow WA state law for tenant vacate notice?
2. If the tenant is giving notice on the 19th of this month and his lease ends the last day of this month ( unsure if this is the case or not) how does this effect notice to vacate given above?

Tenants on MTM leases in Wa are required to give 20 days notice or be liable for next month's rent is the law; but in this climate no one is going to care. I would go with the 12 days and consider myself lucky it is not December.

@Bjorn Ahlblad Much thanks, will take that into consideration.
