[WSBARP] Unfiled eviction

[Anthony Gibbs]

I have a client facing an eviction (which is probably bunk). He has
received the summons and complaint, identifying a response deadline of July
5. However, the complaint was not served properly and has not been filed.

Can we just ignore it and force the Landlord to do things by the book? I
have phoned opposing counsel and no response.

I am contemplating responding to opposing counsel with a letter (but no
formal answer to keep costs down) along the lines of "L's eviction of my
client T is obviously retaliatory, my client is already looking for a new
place to live, so save your client and mine the trouble since you're going
to lose anyway."

Words of wisdom or warning most appreciated.

Thanks!
