[WSBARP] Notice of Rent Increase for Commercial Month to Month Lease

[Jeff Davis]

Listmates:

 

Client occupies a commercial space under a poorly written month to month
lease which is silent as to rent increases.  Old landlord sold building.
New Landlord wants to substantially increase rent starting March 1, 2020 but
has not said how much, but that they want to make the adjustment by end of
February.  I always thought Landlords had to give at least 30 days' notice
of a rent increase so the Tenant had time to vacate.  There is nothing in
RCW 59.12 addressing that point and my quick case research turned up
nothing.  Have any of you had experience with this?
