<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">RCW 43.31.605 doesn’t seem to require that the tenant be a current tenant for the landlord to apply for reimbursement funds. It does require an unpaid judgment for rent. However, the claim would also be
exempt from any postjudgment interest required under RCW 4.56.110. So, it might work, but there is also a business decision to be made. Plus, this was created to help tenants avoid eviction, and there is no requirement that landlords be paid, so they likely
will just say “no.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The only argument I see requiring a repayment agreement, or an effort to obtain one, is that the language in the eviction moratorium forever added this as a condition to collect debt that arose during its
effectiveness:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">“Except as provided in this paragraph, landlords, property owners, and property managers are prohibited from treating any unpaid rent or other charges related to a dwelling or parcel
of land occupied as a dwelling as an enforceable debt or obligation that is owing or collectable, where such non-payment was as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and occurred on or after February 29, 2020, and during the State of Emergency proclaimed in all
counties in Washington State. This includes attempts to collect, or threats to collect, through a collection agency, by filing an unlawful detainer or other judicial action, withholding any portion of a security deposit, billing or invoicing, reporting to
credit bureaus, or by any other means. This prohibition does not apply to a landlord, property owner, or property manager who demonstrates by a preponderance of the evidence to a court that the resident was offered, and refused or failed to comply with, a
re-payment plan that was reasonable based on the individual financial, health, and other circumstances of that resident; failure to provide a reasonable repayment plan shall be a defense to any lawsuit or other attempts to collect.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This was a debate we had internally at my last position. As the order with this language is expired, is this pre-condition to treating this debt as enforceable also gone?

<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"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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></span></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? </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
