[WSBARP] How reasonable is the Landlord in listing rental for sale

[Maxwell Glasson]

I typically have my clients document their efforts in preparation of listing.  That would include reaching out to brokers/realtors.  That way, if the reason is challenged, we have evidence we can use to rebut the presumption.

Regards,

Listlmates,



I knew this issue would come up.  Clients, LL, evicted tenants under a 90-day notice to sell.  It took several days, after the tenants were out, to actually get all of the tenants’ usable stuff back to them.  It took an additional two weeks to remove the junk.  Now the place needs extensive repairs before it can be listed for a reasonable price.   In looking at RCW 59.18.650(2)(e)(i), and the rebuttable presumption, have any of you dealt with this situation, which I know comes up quite a bit, where a tenant leaves the place a mess.  Of course, clients must document the damages, and assuming they do, any court of common sense will give the LL time to repair.  Otherwise, LL’s will list the property at a substantially reduced price.  Your experiences?



Jeff
