<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I have a different take on this matter. The repayment plan requirement is a prerequisite to bringing an unlawful detainer. The situation now involves a debtor, not a tenant.
Why wouldn’t this be a standard civil lawsuit for damages and not subject to the requirements of RCW Chapters 59.12 and 59.18?

<p class="MsoNormal">RCW 59.18.630 requires a landlord to offer a repayment plan to a tenant. It does not mention prior tenants. However, if there will be a lawsuit, the landlord’s chances are probably better if they do offer the repayment plan. There is
also an option to seek reimbursement from a landlord mitigation program pursuant to RCW 43.13.605(1)(d) if the tenant defaults on the repayment plan. I don’t know if this would apply to former tenants, but it is likely worth looking at.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I have a landlord whose tenant’s lease ended in July 2020. The tenant was behind in rent by three months and there were damages after they vacated they still have not paid.
Now I understand that for current tenants who missed rent payments between March 2020 and December 2021 the landlord must enter into a repayment plan for the past due rent. My question is do they still have to do this for prior tenants who were behind in rent
during the same time? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
