[WSBAPT] Marine condo eviction

[Bryce Dille]

If what was being rented was the boat at the space that arguably that could be a structure but where it is only the space at a dock I don’t think so and RCW 59.18 wouldn’t apply.

Well, I’d say yes out of elimination of the options because it’s a residential use (and therefore not commercial) but the marine condo is only one unit and therefore doesn’t fall into the definition of a mobile home/manufactured home park.  See the definition section of RCW 59.18.030(10) which requires that a mobile home park must have two or more lots to be considered a mobile home park.  The point being that while a house boat may fall within the definition of a mobile home (by accident?), the marine condo space doesn’t fall within the definition of  mobile home park.  Good luck.  Interesting question and I’d be interested in other’s thoughts.

Listmates,

PC has leased his marine condo to a boat owner who lives on the boat with the permission of the marine condo association. No rent has been paid for a few months, now PC wants to evict tenant. Lease is “barebones" and provides only for a 5-day notice.

Would the Residential Landlord Tenant Act apply? It seems quite a stretch, but the definition of “dwelling unit” could be interpreted to cover the marine condo.

Best regards,

Neli
