[WSBARP] SB 1236 - Statewide Just Cause

[Kaitlyn Jackson]

Most of the attorneys I've been speaking with believe that this means that
any outstanding 60 days notice are invalid and that a new 90 day notice
will need to be served. However, if a case has already been initiated by a
60 day notice, that case should be able to proceed forward.

Also, 1236 requires 60 days notice in order to move forward with an
unlawful detainer based on holdover after a lease expires. So for any
expired term leases, it looks like this could affect a landlords' ability
to move forward based on holdover if the tenant has been there more than a
year. Any landlords with lease agreements expiring in less than 60 days may
be forced to renew. Does anyone else see that?
