[WSBARP] getting family members out - UD

[Rob Rowley]

I have done a handful of similar evictions.  Usually the failure to launch
deadbeat adult child living in the basement, a codependent mother and
usually a relative who is doing an intervention helping mom to pull the
trigger.



You have to be very specific on how you plead the description of the room
of the tenant to be evicted.  The last thing you want is the Sheriff
evicting everybody in the house (including mom) as opposed to a specific
room.  I've had the landlord/parent put a room number on the door and that
becomes part of the property description of the property on the writ of
restitution.

Josh, I have evicted family members (step-daughter) and I had the parent
post the notice on the bedroom door.  Proceeded under 59.18 and 59.12 with
no problems.  Atty fees are allowed under 59.18 so don’t need it in a
written lease.

Mom let adult children reside in her residence and now are behind on the
agreed upon rent (oral agreement).



I am assuming that an UD action will work  under RCW 5912 mainly because it
doesn’t fit the definition of a Dwelling unit in 59.18.

I also assume that we can’t ask for attorney fees because of a lack of an
agreement and it is provided for not in 59.19



Your thoughts?

Josh
