[WSBARP] bridge and "not extending the moratorium"

Wed Jun 30 14:38:47 PDT 2021

It's a mess.

The "not extending the moratorium" is important to know because of the new
law HB1236.  At section 2, paragraph (1)(c)(iii) the law gives landlords 3
months to get tenants into a lease that contemplates the new law.  That is,
3 months from the end of Proc 20-19.6 plus any extensions.  So by "not
extending the moratorium" it appears that this starts ticking after today,
not after September 30.  Unless the "bridge" qualifies as "any extension."
But the bridge is labelled 21-09 and does not say it extends 20-19 like the
previous extensions did.  Best to get it done before Sept 30 and avoid the
argument.

Thank you.  

For "not extending the moratorium," he extended the moratorium for tenants
who are behind in their rent.  I look forward to any CLE that set up check
lists and protocols under the new scheme.  My old UD checklist is woefully
inadequate with the landlord now having to jump through so many flaming
hoops.  And my backwater county wasn't one of the "pilot" counties so who
knows when my county will install the mediation and rental assistance
programs (not to mention the free attorneys.)

This reminds of when the feds greatly revised the bankruptcy laws to make it
harder to declare bankruptcy.  The bankruptcy rules got so complicated,
byzantine, and frustrating that many bankruptcy practitioners left the
field.  I'm getting phone calls from potential clients with units in other
counties because they can't find an attorney in their own county who wants
to address this morass.

Paul -

Here's the language that was released today.

Also, here's an interesting SCOTUS "opinion" re: CDC Eviction Moratorium.

I keep reading about Inslee's bridge program after the expiration of the
eviction moratorium on June 30th but I am not finding the bridge program
language.  Am I correct that all the newspaper articles are just parroting
what Gov. Inslee said in his press conference but he has NOT actually
released the actual language of the bridge program?  Inslee says he is not
extending the moratorium but even the judge in my hearing today said "the
moratorium has been extended."
