<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bryce,
<div> Creating rental based restrictions is very difficult to do, after the fact. If you look at recent cases, HOA's are very limited on covenant amendments. With rentals, there is an added issue that an owner can raise, that when they bought, they had income based expectations.</div>
<div> Rentals are very difficult for an HOA to manage. The most important step is for the HOA to stay on top of its covenant enforcement. One issue to look at is, what covenant violations could be cause under the new LT amendments. Requiring the landlord to put in some language relating to that might help. Another step is to require all rentals to be registered with the HOA and to require prior approval after the landlord has done a complete tenant screen, not the usual credit check a lot of them do.</div>
<div>One issue you also have is how are they going to be managed. If you have a company buying these, then perhaps they are going to have a good management process. In small communities, that is not the case. Most rentals are owned by people that just have a few as investments and they have no idea how to manage them. So one idea to solve that problem, if it exists, is to require them to go through a rental management company approved by the HOA. Some rental management companies are great and some are horrible. </div>
<div> I have not really gone through the thinking on this recently, particularly with the new LT amendments. My point is, you cannot overly restrict an owners ability to rent unless the original covenants address it. What you have to do is to find ways to manage the process, and create a record of why you are doing it.</div>

</div>
<div dir="ltr">Hi Brainiacs of Real Property -<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I have been forced to use the new King County E-Script service for getting<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">case documents since they implemented it a while ago. I am finding it is an<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">epic failure from a technology perspective, cost perspective, effectiveness<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">perspective, and generally flabbergasted why the county would move away<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">from the ECR system in favor of something that is slower, costlier, less<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">efficient, and less reliable?<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">My basic complaints are:<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">1. You can't preview documents before you download/pay for them to ensure<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">they are what you are looking for (like you could with ECR);<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">2. You have to pay/enter credit card information for every single<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">transaction to get access to documents (rather than being able to have an<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">account that is billed against) which takes significantly more time and you<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">are charged processing fees every single time;<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">3. You do not get access to the documents you have paid for immediately.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Apparently, they email you when they are ready. This has taken several days<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">in some cases and sometimes never happens. If they don't email you, you<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">have to remember to go back into your account and look for the receipt<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">number and track them down;<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">4. If they don't email you, then you have 48 hours to pull the documents<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">off the system yourself before they are no longer accessible again;<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">5. the E-Script system randomly shuts down and becomes inaccessible with no<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">notice (I tried to get in today after paying for documents and the site was<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">not accessible).<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">This process has significantly decreased productivity and increased costs.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I'm curious if everyone else is just as frustrated as I am at what appears<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">to be an obvious step backwards with the implementation of this "new"<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">system. If yes, can we lobby to have the County go back to ECR?<br>
</div>

<div dir="ltr">I agree with you 100%. There is a survey on there you can fill out, which I did and expressed my frustrations. If enough practitioners complain, maybe that will spur change? I suppose if there had never been ECR none of us would know the difference, but this current system is definitely a step-backward. All of your points are valid, but the not getting immediate access is my biggest pet peeve. When I?m working on something and need the documents, I don?t want to wait hours/days to get them. This has not been a ?consumer friendly? change, and ultimately increases costs for our clients.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Subject: [WSBARP] King County E-Script - An Upgrade? Or a Horrific Downgrade in Technology that puts the profession back 15 years?<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Hi Brainiacs of Real Property -<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I have been forced to use the new King County E-Script service for getting case documents since they implemented it a while ago. I am finding it is an epic failure from a technology perspective, cost perspective, effectiveness perspective, and generally flabbergasted why the county would move away from the ECR system in favor of something that is slower, costlier, less efficient, and less reliable?<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">My basic complaints are:<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">1. You can't preview documents before you download/pay for them to ensure they are what you are looking for (like you could with ECR);<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">2. You have to pay/enter credit card information for every single transaction to get access to documents (rather than being able to have an account that is billed against) which takes significantly more time and you are charged processing fees every single time;<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">3. You do not get access to the documents you have paid for immediately. Apparently, they email you when they are ready. This has taken several days in some cases and sometimes never happens. If they don't email you, you have to remember to go back into your account and look for the receipt number and track them down;<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">4. If they don't email you, then you have 48 hours to pull the documents off the system yourself before they are no longer accessible again;<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">5. the E-Script system randomly shuts down and becomes inaccessible with no notice (I tried to get in today after paying for documents and the site was not accessible).<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">This process has significantly decreased productivity and increased costs. I'm curious if everyone else is just as frustrated as I am at what appears to be an obvious step backwards with the implementation of this "new" system. If yes, can we lobby to have the County go back to ECR?<br>
</div>
