We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the shortest eviction notice?

You must send the landlord a letter saying you are moving. The landlord must get the letter at least 20 days before the end of the rental period.

Can a landlord evict you without a court order in Washington state?

No. Washington state does not let landlords evict tenants without first following the proper court eviction process. Your landlord must win an eviction lawsuit against you and then get a judge to sign an order directing the sheriff to evict you.

What is the just cause eviction law in Washington state?

The JCEO states that the owner has just cause to evict a tenant if the tenant receives four or more 14-day notices to pay rent or vacate in a 12-month period.

How long does it take to evict a tenant in WA state?

Evictions in Washington State generally take around three weeks from start to finish, but this can vary. There are many variables that impact the length of time the eviction process will take. Below is a sample timeline for eviction due to non-payment of rent.

What is the minimum eviction notice in Washington state?

The required notice time given to tenants is 20 days regardless of their tenancy type. Should the tenant remain in the rental premises even after their notice period ends, the landlord may continue to file an eviction lawsuit in order to evict the tenant from the property.
