I am helping family manage their rentals due to health problems. A tenants year long lease expired in October and they only paid part of rent for December and nothing for January February or March. I received a text that she will pay what she owes and be out by the end of the January. She would not answer my calls texts and she still has the keys. All their stuff is still in the rental and there is cat droppings everywhere. Can I still evict them? Send them to collections? Do I have to wait to get them evicted before I can get their stuff out? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

So I have a tenant who has been a problem tenant. Their year long lease expired in October and now they only paid part of rent for December and nothing for January. I just received a text that she will pay what she owes and be out by the end of the month. I live in Washington state. I believe she is required to give me 20 days notice and then she’ll be into the next month so won’t she owe for the following month as well? Any help would be much appreciated.
