[WSBARP] Attorney General's 14-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Vacate

[Mark Anderson]

If you look at the AG's form, the footer references RCW 59.18.057.  Although that form contains language that might meet some of the elements set forth in RCW 59.18.660, I would create and use a notice that clearly reflects the requirements of RCW 59.18.660.

Listmates:

Client wants to start eviction process for past due rent.  I talked with the local dispute resolution program that will handle the mediation/reasonable repayment agreement process.  They referred me to the AG's website for the form of a 14-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Vacate Premises.  I compared that notice with RCW 59.18.660.  The AG's notice is not "word for word" compliant with the law.  Have any of you used the AG's notice form?  If so, has it ever been challenged?  I doubt we have the ability to rely on the AG's form, as they are just attorneys like the rest of us.
