[WSBARP] Girl Friend Won't Leave

Thu May 27 09:42:23 PDT 2021

I have successfully evicted in Island County but your experience may vary.  I first deliver a Notice of termination of At-Will Tenancy saying that if GF stays beyond a certain date (a week to 10 days out) that GF agrees to pay rent and controlled by RCW 59.12 and 59.18.  Then, once GF fails to pay the rent, serve with a combination 3-day and 20-day notice and bring the UD action.  OK, so this was before the moratorium and the new law changes.

I have tried to get people out under these same set of facts a few times and depending how long she has been there and if she receives mail there, in my experience the commissioners don't think these are evictions (unless the time period is really short or she still has her own place).  I had to file another type of action (either a CIR action if the facts warrant, or ejectment) but incentivizing the person financially has worked in the past also.  For example, offering monetary assistance towards first and last somewhere else.  My opinion is that she is not a squatter unless she was just staying the night there frequently and now refuses to leave/vs moving in there.

Listmates,

PC moved his girl friend into his house.  As life goes, things have not worked out, but she refuses to leave.  Numerous fights with the police intervention.  Obviously, this is not a landlord/tenant arrangement.  Is an ejectment action the only remedy for him?  I know there is a new "squatters" law, but would that even apply?   Your thoughts.
