[WSBARP] Settlement after UD: Confession of Judgment and ex parte Writ

[Brian Andrews]

Good afternoon, listmates:

Question:

After a tenant has failed to respond to a reasonable offer of repayment - served with a 14-Day Notice to Pay or Vacate, we effectuated personal service of process for UD on Tenant. T now wants to pay. In my view, LL client has complied with 59.18.630. My question is whether we can accordingly offer - as consideration for not prosecuting the UD - a CR2A allowing for reasonable repayment and attorney fees and a confession of judgment for same in the event of any breach. The CR2A would also permit client LL to obtain an ex parte writ of restitution for breach of same.

Or are we bound to the same process for breach of repayment plan under 59.18.630, which requires going through the UD process all over again? I would like to think that we can do the CR2A spelling out the above, because our position is that T is already in UD.

Virtual penny for your thoughts, please and thank you.
