<p class="MsoNormal">Based on Proclamation 20-19.1 and 20-19.2, unpaid rent is not <i>collectable
</i>unless the landlord offers a reasonable payment plan based on the individual circumstances of the tenant. So, in order to even take the tenant to small claims court or report credit agencies, the landlord must first offer a payment plan. But, according
to this King County Ordinance, if the landlord offers the payment plan and the tenant accepts it, the landlord is forced to keep that tenant throughout the term of the plan. Based on what I'm seeing, courts are looking at 6-12 months as reasonable. Something
like this feels like a catch-22. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Therefore, those landlords who want to terminate the tenancies with the tenant once the moratoria are lifted may need to terminate the tenancy for no cause per 59.12.030(2) (assuming they are not in a city that requires "just cause") and
THEN after the tenant is gone either by agreement or court action, send a letter offering a reasonable payment plan for the unpaid rent debt, and if the previous tenant won't play ball, then the unpaid rent from the tenancy becomes collectable through normal
civil processes. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the property is located in a city that has adopted a "just cause" ordinance (Seattle, Burien, Federal Way to name a few), then this is much more complicated because the landlord would have to use a 14 day notice to pay rent or vacate
and offer a payment plan - then if the tenant takes it, the Landlord must keep them until the payment plan has been satisfied. In this context, I would make sure part of the payment plan requires the signing of a term lease for that repayment period so you
get out of the month-to-month status which is so cumbersome on the landlord in this "just cause" jdx. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>I haven't seen any talk about this so I thought I would send it around—this is for unincorporated King County, based on King County ordinance passed on June 23. It's basically a prohibition on evicting based on failure to pay rent, effective as to payments
missed between March 2020 and March 2021, for residential and "small commercial" tenants as defined in the ordinance. The terms seem a little squishy and lots of ambiguities I think. It has a repayment plan provision, again kind of squishy and arguable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I think I've attached the ordinance as passed but I am not totally positive. If I got it wrong, apologies.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Here's the <a href="https://www.kingcounty.gov/council/news/2020/June/6-23-CB-tenant-protections-release.aspx" target="_blank">
news release from the County</a>, which unhelpfully did not include a link to the actual ordinance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></p>
