[WSBARP] Landlord wants to move back in

[Nicholas Pleasants]

Anthony,
It is covered in the proclamation 20-19.4: https://www.governor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/proclamations/proc_20-19.4.pdf
“This prohibition applies unless the landlord, property owner, or property manager (a) attaches an affidavit to the eviction or termination of tenancy notice attesting that the action is necessary to respond to a significant and immediate risk to the health, safety, or property of others created by the resident; or (b) provides at least 60 days’ written notice of the property owner’s intent to (i) personally occupy the premises as the owner’s primary residence, or (ii) sell the property. Such a 60-day notice of intent to sell or personally occupy shall be in the form of an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury, and does not dispense landlords, property owners, or property managers from their notice obligations prior to entering the property, or from wearing face coverings, social distancing, and complying with all other COVID-19 safety measures upon entry, together with their guests and agents. Any eviction or termination of tenancy notice served under one of the above exceptions must independently comply with all applicable requirements under Washington law, and nothing in this paragraph waives those requirements.”

Best,
Nick

Subject: [WSBARP] Landlord wants to move back in

I haven’t seen addressed in the COVID guidance whether a landlord can still terminate a tenancy because they want to move back in to the house. The tenant is also behind in rent, but that is a secondary issue to the L.

Has anyone seen whether the COVID guidance addresses that scenario?

Thanks
