[WSBARP] Tenant Jeopardizing Sale of Estate Real Property

[Thomas Fiscus]

Hi Listmates - Administrator of intestate estate with several heirs is in escrow for the sale of a piece of residential real property which has been rented to tenant in month to month tenancy for a number of years.  Administrator gave the tenant written notice in March that the property was for sale and that Administrator was terminating the tenancy effective June 30.  Administrator subsequently notified tenant that buyers wanted to move into the apartment he rents.  Closing is (was) set for July 7.  Tenant repeatedly told Administrator he would be out by June 30.  He has not moved out and the buyers are getting shaky about the sale (it appears that the tenant has been undermining the sale all along and is attempting to prevent the sale from going through).  This is not a regular area of my practice, but I'm prepared to file an unlawful detainer action seeking restitution of the property to the estate under RCW 59.12.030(2) and RCW 59.18.650 (d) and (e).  My question is whether or not there is any sort of expedited process for such an action that I can access to help save the real estate transaction.  Any thoughts are appreciated.
Kind regardsTom Fiscus
