And, RCW 59.12.030(2) says that you have to give a twenty day notice for a month-to-month lease. Most residential leases (at least the one I’m reviewing) are for a set period (i.e. one year) with a provision that if the T holds over, the lease converts to a month-to-month lease. End of lease was July 31 and LL wants T out but LL hasn’t given T any kind of written notice, yet. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>OK, so under this type of lease language, is my client ok with giving no notice because the lease expired and the LL hasn’t accepted any additional rent payments <i>or</i> must LL give T the twenty day notice because the lease has automatically converted to a month-to-month lease? (Actually, T is about 9 months behind in rent so I am going to give a 3-day notice just to cover all of my bases but I thought that maybe I don’t need to even give the 3-day notice because the lease just expired anyway) Any thoughts or case law out there? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
