<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">But, now that I think about it, it is different under Craig’s scenario because the moratorium has changed. I tried to “evict” last Spring but the moratorium in existence
at the time didn’t have the 60-day notice component. I recently brought a forfeiture action under a defaulted Real Estate Sale contract, and then, of course, the guy refused to move out. So brought an eviction action after giving a termination notice and
a 60-day notice of the owner’s intent to sell. It was easy to convince the judge that the owner intended to sell the residence because the owner had already sold it to the defaulting person under the Real Estate Contract. I made sure the Findings of Fact
and Conclusions of Law and the Order for Writ of Restitution had plenty of eye-wash language saying the eviction complied with the moratorium. Island County Sheriff allowed that one.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">So, Craig, assuming there are no federal or state or County prohibitions in place, I would foreclose (and at least get ownership), then I would evict and also serve the
60-day notice of intent to sell (because HOA’s are not in the business of owning units.) Once again, your mileage may vary, especially if the property is in King County or in one of those test counties that are using forced mediation for evictions, or if
your local judge or sheriff had something too spicy to eat for breakfast.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">As I reported here before, I convinced a judge that issuing an Order for Writ of Replevin was outside of the moratorium. But, the Island County Sheriff refused to honor
the Order for Writ of Replevin (as advised by the Island County Prosecutor’s Office) and cited separate provisions in the moratorium that prohibited a law enforcement officer from removing an occupant. The deputy prosecutor basically told me that if it walks
like an eviction and squawks like an eviction, it must be an eviction and the Sheriff will refuse to evict. Your mileage may vary.
