I don't do LL/T work either, but used to, and found it an interesting case. </div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"></div><br class="gmail-Apple-interchange-newline">May. 14, 2024 - 58054-3 - Steven Pohl, Respondent v. Dennis Mark, Appellant <br><a href="https://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/?fa=opinions.disp&filename=580543MAJ" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/?fa=opinions.disp&filename=580543MAJ</a><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br class="gmail-Apple-interchange-newline">General situation: person moved onto property with a make-shift trailer, there was an oral agreement that likely would be a rental agreement if occupied the residence, but was not as he was residing in his own trailer on the land. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">I know it's a narrow band of cases where someone is on the property but not in the house, but I've heard of courts stretching the RLTA to people living on property in their trailers to protect them. And ensuing difficulty getting squatters out under judges of a certain bent. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">While this was still towards protecting the unwanted occupant, it pretty clearly sets out law that would work in the owner's favor if they followed the "at will" procedure versus RLTA. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">It also takes it out of the UD process - which as I understand, many courts are setting out ridiculously far out (again presumably in a "tenant-advocate" approach). While UD is "quicker" in some circumstances, perhaps not when you can't even get on the docket, particularly if you have facts supporting a summary judgment on ejectment.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">And good practice tip, as I also know a lot of attorneys who have taken to using the RLTA in just about anything as the courts seem to. Of course always prudent to have alternate causes of action, and use every possible applicable notice. But a reminder in these types of situations. Though with the conflict of notices, I've seen courts reject the ultimate request for relief because the alternate notices were "confusing". One I saw work was using the most generous notice provision and using those time-frames rather than the shorter one that might be available under an alternate theory, thus having all time frames line up. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="trebuchet ms,sans-serif" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">Carmen Rowe<i><br><div><br></div><div><img width="200" height="71" src="https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/mail-sig/AIorK4yaIwO8NwDh1yJGQWP1qK1vhwcBcK5yYclhzfMrEc3GuEfI5eiJ-wA30feUaQTq_2U2bQPszU4"><br></div></i></font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><br></font></div></div><div dir="ltr"><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#660000" face="Trebuchet MS" size="2" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"></font></div><div><font color="#660000" face="Trebuchet MS" size="2" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Phone: (360) 669-3576 (direct cell)<br></font></div><div><font color="#660000" face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">Email: Carmen@GryphonLawGroup.com<br><br></font><span><font color="#660000" face="Trebuchet MS" size="2" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><b>Olympia/Lacey and primary mailing office:</b></font></span></div><div><span><font color="#660000" face="Trebuchet MS" size="2" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">1415 College Street SE, Lacey, WA 98503<br></font></span></div><div><b style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:"Trebuchet MS""><br></b></div><div><b style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:"Trebuchet MS"">Seattle office: <i>We are currently moving our Seattle location - notice of new address coming soon!</i></b><span><font color="#660000" face="Trebuchet MS" size="2" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br></font></span></div><div><br></div><div><b style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:"Trebuchet MS"">NOTICE REGARDING OPERATIONS AND COVID-19:</b><font color="#660000" face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"> </span>We see our community as working together to address COVID and its impact on our lives, health, and business.
