[WSBARP] RV Park Eviction

Wed Feb 16 13:26:13 PST 2022

A camp is intended to be truly short term.   A few days, weeks.  Here, of course, the clients allow the RV’s to stay for months.  Usually no one stays that long as these are intended to be vacation destinations.  Which law applies, in some cases, depends on how long the camp/park allow people to stay.  I have seen some limit stays to no more than three months, or even six months; but then requires the RV’s to be moved.  If the AG is involved, to them its fatal to allow an RV stay more than a year;  even if it can start up and move, the AG will consider the RV camp to now be a manufactured home community.

What's the difference between a "Camp" and a "Park"?

Listmates,

Clients own a true RV Camp, not a manufactured home Park.  Several tenants, paying monthly, have stop paying rent.  I believe these evictions fall under either RCW 59.18 or RCW 59.12; however, RCW 59.20 has some references to both prior statutes (see RCW 59.20.040).  I ran into a situation where the WA AG took the position if RV parks allowed people to stay for more than a year, they are governed by RCW 59.20.  I want to avoid 59.20 and would much rather use 59.12 and/ 59.18 (even with all the changes).  What do you think?
