[WSBARP] Question about squatters in Unlawful Detainer

[Scott Hildebrand]

All-

I have a client who has squatters in a house and I am doing an unlawful
detainer. Apparently, he allowed some people to live there and they were
allowed to stay so long as they fixed things around the house. That
arrangement expired and now a new group of people are there- my client has
no idea who they are but wants them out.

I think I can file an unlawful detainer to get them out, but we need to
start the process with some kind of notice- I presume a 3 day is the proper
beginning, although I am wondering if we should serve a 20 day
simultaneously just to cover the bases in the event a 3 day is not proper.
Also, who do I sue and serve? John and Jane Does? What if no one at the door
will accept service? I suppose I can petition for alternate service since
the goal here is to get the premises back and I am seeking no money
judgment.

 

Any advice would be appreciated!

 

Best,

Scott Hildebrand
