<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Julie,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the tenancy has already become a month-to-month tenancy, then you can only give a “just-cause” notice under RCW 59.18.650(2). If the lease was for a year term, and then converted to a month-to-month basis, the landlord would need to
have given a 60-day notice <i>prior to</i> the expiration of the initial year term to have it terminate. The same 60-day nonrenewal notice needs to be given even in the case of a lease that does not convert to month-to-month.
