[WSBARP] Ejectment or Squatter

[Maxwell Glasson]

Ugh, and now trials are set much further out than a few weeks.  If there is no agreement or rent having been paid, ejectment may be the only path other than finding an "cash-for-keys (tent stakes?)" agreement

Back in the days when I handled UDs, I had a case where the tenants burned down a house in Seattle (the fire was their fault). The house was mostly nonexistent (i.e., open to the sky, etc...).  They still refused to vacate and some "do gooder" attorneys represented them pro bono, to defend the eviction. It took a three day trial (surprise - we won).

They patted themselves on the back for how they prevented homelessness for a few weeks.

One of the many reasons I left that area of practice.

What a nightmare. What a bloody nightmare. I love my job, but I am occasionally still shocked by how selfish or petty people can be.

Listmates:

Client allowed a friend to reside in a home he owned.  No rent ever charged.  Home burned to the ground; its gone.  Not sure what caused the fire, however, the home will not be rebuilt.  Friend won't leave and put up a tent.  Of course, no running water or toilet.  The police will do nothing.  Ejectment or some other remedy?
