[WSBARP] NV LLC Holding WA Real Property

[Timothy Steen]

Assuming a traditional landlord/tenant rental relationship exists, then I believe registration is required since the LLC is transacting business in WA, rather than just holding the property. See RCW 23.95.505(1), (5).

Best,

Tim

Thank you, but does having a tenant rise to the "more" part of this exception?

Subject: [WSBARP] NV LLC Holding WA Real Property

I am conveying a rental property here in WA to a Nevada LLC. Does the NV LLC need to file a foreign registration to do business here, even if it is just holding property?

Thank you.
