I have historically advised cops that it is necessary (and smart) to go above and beyond in providing due process when removing squatters. The enactment of this statute has not changed that advice. That may mean that one of the squatters will say that they have to speak to someone who is not there at the moment to find the lease, and they won’t be back until the next day. So prepare for that, and ask to speak to a sergeant to see if you can arrange to have the officers arrive early in the day to start that process if you decide to go down that route. I don’t represent landlords, but I think cash for keys may be the fastest method, and maybe the best way to avoid damages.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:wsbarp-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com" target="_blank">wsbarp-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com</a> <<a href="mailto:wsbarp-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com" target="_blank">wsbarp-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Bryce Dille<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, October 31, 2019 9:41 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'WSBA Real Property Listserv' <<a href="mailto:wsbarp@lists.wsbarppt.com" target="_blank">wsbarp@lists.wsbarppt.com</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [WSBARP] Removal of Squatters<u></u><u></u></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone had the experience of attempting to remove squatters thru law enforcement under RCW 9A.52.105-115.
