[WSBARP] Landlord Tenant Act apply to defective sale

[Paul Neumiller]

If the “buyer” came to me after the “seller” attempted to evict the buyer, I would argue in court that the contract is clearly a purchase agreement and not a lease so the seller would have to use the foreclosure procedures and not the unlawful detainer procedures.

Subject: [WSBARP] Landlord Tenant Act apply to defective sale

Client entered into a home-made “contract” to sell residence for $40,000.  Nothing was ever recorded. No REET paid. Only 2 $400 per month payments made so far in 2019.  “Contract” is about 3 paragraphs long, but was signed and notarized.  “If the payment is missed for 3 consecutive months the property will be repossessed by [seller]”...
Client wants to consider it a rent to own agreement notwithstanding rent is never mentioned and give a 14 day notice to pay rent or vacate and then file unlawful detainer action under the landlord tenant act.
any thoughts?
