<div dir="ltr">In Spokane County I'd set a show cause hearing for the daily unlawful detainer docket. I'd move for judgment on the pleadings at the show cause hearing. I've routinely had judges and commissioner grant a writ based upon such an admission.

After some sleuthing, I discovered that a family member has already filed a UD summons and complaint and had it served on Tenant in Dec (documents, though inpro-per, aren’t bad and I can use them). Tenant files a response saying, “yeah I know I owe the money, give me a week.” Then nothing happened and now it’s almost March. <u></u><u></u></p><span class=""><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Would you file documents for a show cause hearing or bring a motion for summary judgment? I’m leaning towards a show cause hearing because those are form documents and I’d have to specifically draft a MSJ so a show cause hearing would likely be cheaper for the client. Plus, I can make arguments at the show cause hearing that the judge can weigh instead of at a MSJ hearing that can be easily derailed.
