[WSBARP] Can landlord refuse rent during eviction proceedings?

[Jennifer Tengono]

Good morning Listmates. 

 

Can a landlord refuse rent for a month-to-month tenant during an eviction
that is (1) not based upon the failure to pay rent when the landlord already
has received a last month's rent payment at signing and (2) not section 8
housing? Landlord has already served complaint and summons on tenant for
nuisance and intends to proceed with OSC hearing. In the meantime, the
landlord intends to apply the last month's rent already received for this
March's rent. In the event the eviction proceeds past March, the landlord
would accept a prorated rent upon completion of the action. Landlord is not
intending to make any claims regarding past due rent or anything of that
nature, merely wishes to terminate lease in accordance with .650. 

 

Thank you for your input. 

 

Respectfully, 

 

Jennifer Tengono
