[WSBARP] 36 month lease - no notary

[Bryce Dille]

It’s true at least for more than one year of real property must have the landlord signature notarized otherwise it is a month-to-month tenancy unless you can establish some sort of part performance by the tenant or a longer term lease in which the tenant has paid rent for a period of time or made improvements to the property and reliance on the lease but in your case if no rent has been paid and no improvements have been made then I believe the court would holdThat all there is is a month-to-month tenancy

No rent paid = no 'partial performance' argument by the tenant. However, I think the argument is that it is for up to 1 year without notarization - so that might need to be honored.

There was a recent chain on this put I can’t find it.  I have a client who is a landlord on a 36 month residential  lease.  I was just told by another attorney that because of the lack of notary it is a month to month.  It has been 7 or 8 months since the tenant took possession.  No rent has been paid to date.
thanks
