Hello Joyce, it sounds like you're having issues with your property manager in Washington while residing in California. Could you please elaborate on what specific issues you're facing so I can provide the best guidance?
Tenant pays late...waits until end of 20 day notice...pays previous month plus $* or * of present month's rent due ... manager accepts. It is my understanding that because manager accepts the partial payment we need to start the 20 day process over again. Is that correct? Also tenant is noisy, confrontational, drunk, annoying, out of contract as he has cats which are strictly forbidden...lies about having a job...but actually has not job...etc. help!
For Washington:
*. If a landlord accepts partial payment, the eviction process must start over.
*. The tenant's misconduct can be grounds for eviction.
*. Violating the no-pet clause can also lead to eviction.
Remember, you must follow a legal eviction process. Consult with a local attorney for the best advice.
