<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Julie,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">RCW 59.18.200(1)(a) is instructive. “a tenancy from month to month, … on which rent is payable, and shall
<b><i>end</i></b> by written notice of 20 days or more, preceding the end of any of the months or periods of tenancy….”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Per (c)(i), the 120-days’ notice needs to be tendered on or before 120 days of last day of the monthly period.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If there is a dispute, you could also use the fallback of RCW 59.18.650(2)(m) as an alternative argument.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope this helps,<o:p></o:p></p>

the State had yet to fund the court appointed attorneys for indigent tenants. Subsequently, prior to my involvement, in the probate for the landlord, the personal representative, in 2022, served the 14 day notice to pay or vacate with the required ERPP notices
and served the Dispute Resolution Center. Subsequently, we received the Dispute Resolution Certificate. Question, can I amend the prior pleadings, rather than start a new UDA? Its interesting to note, the Tenant did not respond to the initial complaint.
An alleged caregiver did respond asserting the right to stay on the property. The caregiver, I guess, would fall under the “any other occupant” part of the complaint, so any amendment would require a notice and hearing. Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
