<p class="gmail-m4674536109647417724xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">We had an e-mail thread about this on July 1. I advised you in that e-mail thread that the holdover girlfriend is considered a “tenant at will” or “tenant at sufferance”
entitled to protections of Chs. 59.12 and 59.18, RCW.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="gmail-m4674536109647417724xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I suppose your question now is whether she has protections under Ch. 59.20 RCW. I would argue yes, under the same legal principles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="gmail-m4674536109647417724xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Shutting off utilities to any building that is occupied, whether by “squatters” or otherwise, is inhumane, and terribly disfavored under Title 59. That is a bad strategy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="gmail-m4674536109647417724xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Maybe this is a situation where a “Cash for Keys” strategy is appropriate. The PR can consider paying the girlfriend a reasonable sum as a relocation incentive to get
her to vacate. That would be my recommendation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
