[WSBARP] 90 Notice for grandson to occupy

[Timothy Lehr]

All,

I have a client that wishes to serve a 90-Day Notice to Vacate to a tenant due to the client's grandson intending to occupy the property. In looking at the definition of "immediate family" under 59.18.030(14) - the definition "includes" "grandparents" but does not specifically include "grandchildren." With as strict as the courts are interpreting the new Act, has anyone had trouble with arguing a grandchild is an immediate family member for purposes of this exception - especially given the fact that grandparents are included? Or do we chalk this up as "yet to be litigated" with all the new rules.

Also the word "includes" in (14) suggests to me the list is not exhaustive.

Thank you!
