[WSBARP] Commercial Tenant Evictions

[Melisa K. Thompson]

I had the same reading of the orders/proclamations.  There is no restriction other than the limited access to the courts.

Subject: [WSBARP] Commercial Tenant Evictions

Listmates - The Governor's Proclamation dated 4/16/2020 provides a restriction against a commercial landlord raising the rent, but contrary to residential leases the order does not appear to restrict taking action in the event of a tenant's failure or refusal to pay rent, such as serving a notice to pay rent or cure a default or vacate, nor does it appear to prohibit serving a summons and complaint for unlawful detainer. Of course, there is the practical issue you cannot currently obtain an eviction order from the courts. Does anyone have a contrary opinion regarding this procedure? Thanks for any comments.
