[WSBARP] Is a Landlord Required to Accept Rental Assistance

[Jeff at bellanddavispllc.com]

Listmates:

 

Tenant defaulted in rent payment for over a year, and caused other problems.
All the required notices and a reasonable repayment plan offered.  No
response to any of the notices and the dispute resolution certificate
issued.  Just as the UDA is to be filed, a rental assistant program offers
to pay the back due rent and 3 months forward.  Must the LL accept that
offer.  I saw nothing in RCW 59.18.630 or 660 saying the LL shall accept the
offer, at this late date.  However I wonder how RCW 59.18.255 plays into
this as it talks about cannot refuse to lease based on source of income,
which includes housing assistance.  Any one have experience with this?
