[WSBARP] Notice of sale

[Rowley, Rob]

Doesn't pass the smell test.

I've issued for my landlord clients at least 40+ of the 60 day sale notices
w COVID compliance declaration. Had one set reviewed and approved by an
Assistant AG (in response to an online complaint to the AG's office).

This morning I successfully finished a contested eviction hearing in
Spokane County and had issued the writ based upon an owner sale.  The Judge
put my client under oath to testify about his intent to sell and wanted to
see a copy of the recorded vesting deed and sale details. She said
the bench was looking for pretext evictions.

I had also heard the same thing previously from one of the Spokane
volunteer lawyer program attorneys where he was successfully opposing an
owner who had issued the 60 day notice to occupy a very trashed residential
property in downtown Spokane but who's primary residence just happens to be
a 750k house on the golf course.
