[WSBARP] unlawful detainer judgment

[scott at starboard-strategies.com]

It is not at all helpful for the tenant; which is why 59.18.367 was passed-
that precludes rental screening companies from telling prospective landlords
about the eviction proceedings that may exist.

Isn't just the filing of an UD the kiss of death for finding a new rental?
I remember that one case where the tenant won because the landlord had no
grounds to evict, and even that made it difficult for them to rent
elsewhere.

Howard,  I do have one request when you represent pro bono tenants:  please
screen them so as not to represent a tenant who purposely goes from landlord
to landlord and fails to pay rent awaiting the landlord to eventually evict
them and then gets a pro bono lawyer to locate a technicality that sends the
landlord back to court multiple times, plus expenses to the Sheriff, and
costs the landlord (who may be a working class guy with one rental unit)
thousands of dollars. Then the tenant leaves the place a complete mess.
