[WSBARP] 14-day notice and late fees

[Timothy Lehr]

All,

 

>From my reading of the new RLLT Act provisions, a 14-day notice to pay or
vacate can only include late "rent" payments, which may include reoccurring
periodic payments such as utilities. PC added late fees on the face of his
notice. Even though those are "reoccurring" in the event of nonpayment of
rent, my understanding is late fees are categorically excluded and cannot be
added to the 14 day notice. Am I correct?

 

Additionally, assuming late payments cannot be included on the notice, can
you ask for them in the unlawful detainer complaint or can those now only be
sought after in a small claims action? 

 

Thanks and have a great weekend,

Tim
