And, yes, Howard, you are spot on, a marine condo is categorized as “real estate” and is, basically, the water column from the bottom of the bay to the surface in a marina, which, together with other such moorage slips, is governed by an association. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Just like the commonly known condominiums, the marine ones are created under the Horizontal Regimes Act, RCW 64.32, which defines <span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">“apartment” as "a part of the property intended for any type of independent use, including one or more rooms in a building, or if not in a building, a separately delineated place of storage or </span><span style="font-size: 15px;" class=""><i class="">moorage of a boat</i></span><span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">, plane, or motor vehicle, regardless of whether it is destined for a residence, an office, storage or </span><span style="font-size: 15px;" class=""><i class="">moorage of a boat</i></span><span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">, plane, or motor vehicle, the operation of any industry or business, or for any other use not prohibited by law, and which has a direct exit to a public street or highway, or to a common area leading to such street or highway. RCW 64.32.010(1).</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">The situation here is similar to a mobile home park owner renting space to tenants who would park their mobile home in the space and live there, only the definitions in RCW 59.20, the Manufactured/Mobile Home Landlord-Tenant Act would not allow you to proceed on that analogy, as Paul Neumiller aptly pointed out.</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">Based on the process of elimination, I also got to RCW 59.12 with a 5-day notice and a show cause hearing, but the maritime law basis to seize a vessel for unpaid moorage charges sounds so tempting. I will research this further, especially because the landlord assured me today that the tenants are so desperate and high on drugs that they will likely stay until the last possible moment. </span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">I wonder what the sheriff will say when asked to come for the eviction . . .</span><br class=""><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">

If there is a lease, there must be a landlord and a tenant. The lease must have the names of the parties. If it does, under RCW 59.12.030 I would try a 5 day notice (instead of 3) to pay rent or vacate whatever it is you own. (Marine condo) Google doesn’t know what that is and I don’t either, but is sounds like real property. If it comes to an unlawful detainer action you would have to describe yourself as being the owner and state what the rent is and that the tenant has failed to pay the rent after service of the 5 day notice to pay rent or vacate. You would want to serve an RCW 59.18.375 notice along with the summons and complaint and show cause order. The notice requires the tenant to pay the rent into the Clerk’s office or state under oath that there is no rent due and give the reason. If he fails to do that, he is not entitled be heard at the show cause hearing, and you win by default. Then you can take your default judgment and execute on his boat. All of this is going to be expensive and time consuming so sometimes it is less expensive to pay the guy to leave.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">Howard Herman<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">Herman Herman & Jolley PS</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">509.220.5810</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> </span></div><div class=""><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-color: rgb(225, 225, 225); border-top-width: 1pt; padding: 3pt 0in 0in;" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><b class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">From:</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com" class="">wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com</a> [<a href="mailto:wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com" class="">mailto:wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com</a>]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">On Behalf Of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Neli Espe<br class=""><b class="">Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Friday, January 23, 2015 5:02 PM<br class=""><b class="">To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>WSBA Probate & Trust Listserv<br class=""><b class="">Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [WSBAPT] Marine condo eviction<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">Dear Howard,<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">The sketchy lease states that the marine condo owner leases the condo unit to the boat owner for a term of one year at a specified monthly rent.

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.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: white;" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-color: rgb(225, 225, 225); border-top-width: 1pt; padding: 3pt 0in 0in;" class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><b class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">From:</span></b><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""> </span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><a href="mailto:wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="color: purple;" class="">wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com</span></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>[<a href="mailto:wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="color: purple;" class="">mailto:wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com</span></a>]<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">On Behalf Of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Neli Espe<br class=""><b class="">Sent:</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Thursday, January 22, 2015 3:50 PM<br class=""><b class="">To:</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>WSBA Probate & Trust Listserv<br class=""><b class="">Subject:</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>[WSBAPT] Marine condo eviction</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">Listmates,<o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">PC has leased his marine condo to a boat owner who lives on the boat with the permission of the marine condo association.
