<p class="MsoNormal">Depending how elderly and vulnerable your client is, a VAPO under Ch. 74.34 RCW may be the quickest way to get the squatters out. Arguably they are financially exploiting him by not paying fair market rent, and if he meets the definition
of a vulnerable adult, then there could be good grounds for this.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It isn’t there for each type of notice, however, the courts are leaning toward protecting the tenants in many types of cases, so we are including it in every notice to vacate. One county recently gave a tenant an extension to get an attorney
when they had not been given this information in a non-monetary notice despite acknowledging that the right is not listed in the statute. I prefer to give it to them up front to avoid delays in court. Sorry I did not clarify that.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As one person had permission to move in, I would treat it like a tenant that allowed unauthorized persons to move in rather than as trespassers. This would be addressed with a 20-day notice to vacate pursuant to RCW 59.18.650(2)(i) if
they share the dwelling with the elderly man. If they do not vacate, it would be followed by a complaint for unlawful detainer and a motion for order to show cause.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You do need to make sure the 20-day notice includes the right to an attorney and information regarding programs that may help pay for the attorney. Because it is not a 14-notice for failure to pay rent, you do not need to include the new
ERPP notice.<o:p></o:p></p>
