My partner and I have taken a preliminary look at this. I am certainly no constitutional expert and we have just been thinking through the process.A takin theory will not work as the deprivation needs to be permanent. The Washington constitution has a contract provision. I do not believe there is any thing comparable in the US constitution. We have not explored the idea of due process or a 1984 action.       Two law suits have been filed over the restrictions that I am aware of. One in Chelan County and on in federal court in Tacoma. My impression is that they were a visceral reaction by right wing groups that were not well thoughtout. Neither went any where.

Yes, where are the lawyers defending the right to contract? (Or, yea, my 
law professor said that somehow that disappeared from the constitution.)

Sangeeta,? ? ? The moratorium applies to all evictions with a few exceptions. The fact a tenant is unaffected by the Covid has no bearing on it.?? ? ? I think it is arguable that the proclamation is unconstitutional as being overly broad and an interference with contractual relations. I has a similar scenario and have filed a claimagainst the state. No response yet.

Colleagues,

A PC contacted me with an interesting situation.? She has a waterfront house with tideland rights and a contract to sell shellfish.? She wishes to sell the property but retain the tideland rights and the contract.? Is this even possible?? I can think of folks who retain mineral rights but tideland rights may be a whole separate bag of worms.

Thanks in advance!

Listmates -

I think I need an Elder Law attorney but I'm not quite sure where to refer
out this case.

PC's sister passed away without a spouse, children, or a will. PC's brother
found out that her previous assisted living arrangement had collected about
10 social security checks and nobody knew they had them and they went
uncashed. They sent them back to social security and social security won't
release them to PC. There's also a bank account in deceased sister's name
that PC is trying to gain possession of. PC doesn't want assets to escheat
to the state.

Anyone want to check this out? I'll send all referrals (self-referrals
welcome).

Hello Landlord Gurus,

I understand that there is a moratorium against evictions until December 31st.

According to how I understand the proclamation this moratorium applies to tenants who have lost their jobs or source of income related to Covid.

Question:

If a residential tenant has not lost their source of income ie. On govt assistance and they are not paying the rent does the moratorium against no eviction rule apply to them.

How best to approach such tenant who seems to be taking advantage of the moratorium.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Sangeeta

If the tidelands are a separate tax parcel, and she is the owner of that tax parcel, then she can sell the uplands and retain ownership of the tidelands.

It may be easier for seller to take back a long-term agricultural-style lease that provides for variable payments to new owner based on crop yields.

As I tell my landlord clients we lawyers don't like guaranteeing anything
but there is one thing I will guarantee is that the Governor will extend
the moratorium sometime into 2021.

Also, I suspect that Pres. Biden (once in office) will also extend the
CDC moratorium which is scheduled to lapse on December 31 which is only for
nonpayment of rent.

You also have to look at your local county to see if they are part of the
Eviction Resolution Program.? Spokane County where I am based out of is a
part of the ERP and eventually once the moratorium is lifted we have to
participate in the program.
http://www.courts.wa.gov/newsinfo/index.cfm?fa=newsinfo.EvictionResolutionProgram

Also, the upcoming legislative session has a number of bills which will be
filed which will essentially make it near impossible to evict a for rent
(or anything) anytime soon (month to month goes away for a while). Who
knows what actually will pass as law is a different question.? Two things
that you never want to see being made is sausage and law.

Summary:
https://files.constantcontact.com/4d179692501/55a538ca-e731-49eb-a80d-9a7300174631.pdf

If I'm a betting man I would say the Legislature will pass some very tenant
friendly provisions tied to the governor lifting the moratorium.? In other
words, let the Legislature take the flak from those unpaid landlords.

Interesting times we live in.

I handled a transaction like this several years ago where the seller retained the right to proceeds from the crop that was planted and after that, had no ongoing rights in the tidelands or a shellfish lease.

Sangeeta, 

Possible answers depend on hearing information not in your question. And for the reasons Rob Rowley laid out this morning, ?approaches? at this time should be elliptical, grounded in sleuthing and soft skills, more than other things.

Consider consulting with a professional neutral experienced in tenant - landlord dispute navigation.

Agreed ? it will depend on the parcels, a lot in our state have tidelands and adjacent property as separate TPNs. If so, then also ensuring your client has or creates a necessary grant of access prior to sale will likely be important.

Rob,
I?m curious if any of you LL/T gurus and/or real property litigators are considering filing some kind of action or class action on a constitutional takings basis? It seems to me that the government has turned private landlords into unwilling purveyors of public housing. All of these regulations/laws were hastily conceived and handed down by fiat. The result has been a tremendous and concentrated loss to private property owners. Perhaps it has to play out further? Have to wait to quantify the exact loss when the moratoriums end and you work through getting them out under all of these onerous ?drag it out? policies benefiting only tenants? We all know that deadbeat tenants are never going to pay up even a tiny fraction of what they owe. That is but a legal illusion of justice for the property owners.

Subject: Re: [WSBARP] Landlord Question

As I tell my landlord clients we lawyers don't like guaranteeing anything but there is one thing I will guarantee is that the Governor will extend the moratorium sometime into 2021.

Also, I suspect that Pres. Biden (once in office) will also extend the CDC moratorium which is scheduled to lapse on December 31 which is only for nonpayment of rent.

You also have to look at your local county to see if they are part of the Eviction Resolution Program.? Spokane County where I am based out of is a part of the ERP and eventually once the moratorium is lifted we have to participate in the program.
http://www.courts.wa.gov/newsinfo/index.cfm?fa=newsinfo.EvictionResolutionProgram

Also, the upcoming legislative session has a number of bills which will be filed which will essentially make it near impossible to evict a for rent (or anything) anytime soon (month to month goes away for a while). Who knows what actually will pass as law is a different question.? Two things that you never want to see being made is sausage and law.

Summary:
https://files.constantcontact.com/4d179692501/55a538ca-e731-49eb-a80d-9a7300174631.pdf

If I'm a betting man I would say the Legislature will pass some very tenant friendly provisions tied to the governor lifting the moratorium.? In other words, let the Legislature take the flak from those unpaid landlords.

Interesting times we live in.

Hello Landlord Gurus,

I understand that there is a moratorium against evictions until December 31st.

According to how I understand the proclamation this moratorium applies to tenants who have lost their jobs or source of income related to Covid.

Question:

If a residential tenant has not lost their source of income ie. On govt assistance and they are not paying the rent does the moratorium against no eviction rule apply to them.

How best to approach such tenant who seems to be taking advantage of the moratorium.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Sangeeta

Inge,? ? ?I agree with the idea of not selling the tidelands. You could give the buyer an easement to access the tidelands but specify they are not to interfere with the shellfish operations.? ? ?You do have to consider access to the tidelands, but it could be solely by water. You also need to understand where the tidelands begin and end. If the patent was issued after statehood, then the dividing line is ordinary high water. If before, it is the meander line. If your patent was issued after statehood, November of 1889, but within a few years of that, then you need to check further. The actual vesting date is the date of the receiver's receipt which can be obtained from the National Archives. If you need to locate the meander line, only a surveyor can tell you where it is, and is a more involved process, and more expensive, than a regular survey.??

Listmates -

I think I need an Elder Law attorney but I'm not quite sure where to refer
out this case.

PC's sister passed away without a spouse, children, or a will. PC's brother
found out that her previous assisted living arrangement had collected about
10 social security checks and nobody knew they had them and they went
uncashed. They sent them back to social security and social security won't
release them to PC. There's also a bank account in deceased sister's name
that PC is trying to gain possession of. PC doesn't want assets to escheat
to the state.

Anyone want to check this out? I'll send all referrals (self-referrals
welcome).

Hello Landlord Gurus,

I understand that there is a moratorium against evictions until December 31st.

According to how I understand the proclamation this moratorium applies to tenants who have lost their jobs or source of income related to Covid.

Question:

If a residential tenant has not lost their source of income ie. On govt assistance and they are not paying the rent does the moratorium against no eviction rule apply to them.

How best to approach such tenant who seems to be taking advantage of the moratorium.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Sangeeta

If the tidelands are a separate tax parcel, and she is the owner of that tax parcel, then she can sell the uplands and retain ownership of the tidelands.

It may be easier for seller to take back a long-term agricultural-style lease that provides for variable payments to new owner based on crop yields.

As I tell my landlord clients we lawyers don't like guaranteeing anything
but there is one thing I will guarantee is that the Governor will extend
the moratorium sometime into 2021.

Also, I suspect that Pres. Biden (once in office) will also extend the
CDC moratorium which is scheduled to lapse on December 31 which is only for
nonpayment of rent.

You also have to look at your local county to see if they are part of the
Eviction Resolution Program.? Spokane County where I am based out of is a
part of the ERP and eventually once the moratorium is lifted we have to
participate in the program.
http://www.courts.wa.gov/newsinfo/index.cfm?fa=newsinfo.EvictionResolutionProgram

Also, the upcoming legislative session has a number of bills which will be
filed which will essentially make it near impossible to evict a for rent
(or anything) anytime soon (month to month goes away for a while). Who
knows what actually will pass as law is a different question.? Two things
that you never want to see being made is sausage and law.

Summary:
https://files.constantcontact.com/4d179692501/55a538ca-e731-49eb-a80d-9a7300174631.pdf

If I'm a betting man I would say the Legislature will pass some very tenant
friendly provisions tied to the governor lifting the moratorium.? In other
words, let the Legislature take the flak from those unpaid landlords.

Interesting times we live in.

I handled a transaction like this several years ago where the seller retained the right to proceeds from the crop that was planted and after that, had no ongoing rights in the tidelands or a shellfish lease.

Sangeeta, 

Possible answers depend on hearing information not in your question. And for the reasons Rob Rowley laid out this morning, ?approaches? at this time should be elliptical, grounded in sleuthing and soft skills, more than other things.

Consider consulting with a professional neutral experienced in tenant - landlord dispute navigation.

Agreed ? it will depend on the parcels, a lot in our state have tidelands and adjacent property as separate TPNs. If so, then also ensuring your client has or creates a necessary grant of access prior to sale will likely be important.

Colleagues,

A PC contacted me with an interesting situation.? She has a waterfront house with tideland rights and a contract to sell shellfish.? She wishes to sell the property but retain the tideland rights and the contract.? Is this even possible?? I can think of folks who retain mineral rights but tideland rights may be a whole separate bag of worms.

Thanks in advance!

Rob,
I?m curious if any of you LL/T gurus and/or real property litigators are considering filing some kind of action or class action on a constitutional takings basis? It seems to me that the government has turned private landlords into unwilling purveyors of public housing. All of these regulations/laws were hastily conceived and handed down by fiat. The result has been a tremendous and concentrated loss to private property owners. Perhaps it has to play out further? Have to wait to quantify the exact loss when the moratoriums end and you work through getting them out under all of these onerous ?drag it out? policies benefiting only tenants? We all know that deadbeat tenants are never going to pay up even a tiny fraction of what they owe. That is but a legal illusion of justice for the property owners.

As I tell my landlord clients we lawyers don't like guaranteeing anything but there is one thing I will guarantee is that the Governor will extend the moratorium sometime into 2021.

Also, I suspect that Pres. Biden (once in office) will also extend the CDC moratorium which is scheduled to lapse on December 31 which is only for nonpayment of rent.

You also have to look at your local county to see if they are part of the Eviction Resolution Program.? Spokane County where I am based out of is a part of the ERP and eventually once the moratorium is lifted we have to participate in the program.
http://www.courts.wa.gov/newsinfo/index.cfm?fa=newsinfo.EvictionResolutionProgram

Also, the upcoming legislative session has a number of bills which will be filed which will essentially make it near impossible to evict a for rent (or anything) anytime soon (month to month goes away for a while). Who knows what actually will pass as law is a different question.? Two things that you never want to see being made is sausage and law.

If I'm a betting man I would say the Legislature will pass some very tenant friendly provisions tied to the governor lifting the moratorium.? In other words, let the Legislature take the flak from those unpaid landlords.

Interesting times we live in.

Hello Landlord Gurus,

I understand that there is a moratorium against evictions until December 31st.

According to how I understand the proclamation this moratorium applies to tenants who have lost their jobs or source of income related to Covid.

Question:

If a residential tenant has not lost their source of income ie. On govt assistance and they are not paying the rent does the moratorium against no eviction rule apply to them.

How best to approach such tenant who seems to be taking advantage of the moratorium.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

As a lowly dirt attorney a little bit beyond my pay grade.



My observation is that regulatory taking and substantive due process for
landlords is largely dead in Washington state (unless you are a tenant)
after the Yim I and Yim II (2019) cases.  There was an excellent article
about those cases in the RPPT newsletter.



Just wait till rent control (aka ?housing stability?) steamrolls through
not this session but probably the following legislative session.



What say wiser counsel?

There was a case filed that I believe was thrown out.  Judge ruled that the landlord was not denied rent, just delayed in collecting it.  Yeah right we will never see it.  I think there is another case right now with Plaintiffs out of Yakima.  Not sure the status of that.  May have been brought in Federal Court.

If I'm a betting man I would say the Legislature will pass some very tenant friendly provisions tied to the governor lifting the moratorium.  In other words, let the Legislature take the flak from those unpaid landlords.

Interesting times we live in.

Hello Landlord Gurus,

I understand that there is a moratorium against evictions until December 31st.

According to how I understand the proclamation this moratorium applies to tenants who have lost their jobs or source of income related to Covid.

Question:

If a residential tenant has not lost their source of income ie. On govt assistance and they are not paying the rent does the moratorium against no eviction rule apply to them.

How best to approach such tenant who seems to be taking advantage of the moratorium.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Sangeeta

Sangeeta,

I have a number of clients calling me wanting to file evictions on tenants who have not been effected by COVID. From my reading of the moratorium, nothing in the order actually states that the tenant must show that they have been effected by COVID. However, the "WHEREAS's" certainly list COVID as the reasoning behind the moratorium, but I still don't see any requirement that tenant has to prove anything. It reads as a blanket moratorium on evictions. 

Say your tenant is up to date on rent, but otherwise in default of their lease agreement. I don't see a way to evict under the order, aside from the exceptions for immediate and significant threats to health, safety or property of others OR LL's intent to sell or occupy.

Needless to say, I have real problems with the language of this order. Hopefully any extensions will actually address a tenant's burden to show they have been effected. 

There have been lawsuits filed against the Governor, most recently in Lewis County. The Washington Landlord Association joined as a party. Below is a link to their website which has a PDF of the complaint. I believe there are also complaints filed in King and Pierce Counties. I'm very interested to see how those play out. But, I agree with others that the moratorium will not be lifted anytime soon and there will likely be legislation to further increase tenant rights before the moratorium is lifted. I'm afraid legitimate evictions will be increasingly difficult to pursue from here on out.

My 2 cents.
