<div>Paul,</div>
<div> I was looking at this back in 2013, and had gotten to the point where I concluded there was no clear answer. The matter resolved itself and so I stopped at that point. </div>
<div> I had originally thought that using the abandoned vehicle statutes would work, but DOL took the position that it would not. The discussion came up on the list serve and there were no good answers. One person suggested doing a landlord lien foreclosure. One person suggested talking to an attorney by the name of Walt Olsen who represents a lot of mobile home parks. You might give him a call. </div>
<div> Let me know what you come up with as I may have the situation come up again.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">I am evicting from a mobile home park a tenant who owns the mobile home. I have already obtained a default judgment and the Writ. (Straight Chapter 59.20 except for those sections in 59.12 and 59.18 brought in by 59.20.040.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent: -0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span> </span></span>The local friendly Sheriff just sent a form letter to the tenant informing the tenant of the Writ and quoted 59.18.312 law about LL storage of T’s personal property. I called the Sheriff’s office and asked “what gives?, this eviction is under 59.20 as a mobile home, not 59.18 under WA Residential LL/T law. 59.18.312 has absolutely no application in this eviction. I don’t want my LL to think it has to follow this law and I certainly don’t want the T (or the Deputy Sheriff who will be there on the day of the eviction) to think that the LL has to follow 59.18.312” The Sheriff’s answer was that they are still required “by law” to give the notice and this is part of their “form letter.” Are they correct?</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent: -0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span> </span></span>After much review, it seems to me that, if T leaves the mobile home in place, LL’s only remedy regarding removal of the mobile home and all of its contents is to follow the LL lien process. Is this correct? </div>
