Cause Hearing is scheduled.
Can I serve my own notice?
Yes, you are allowed to serve your notice. However, there is a
specific procedure that needs to be followed in serving a notice.
How do I serve a notice?
The notice would be made out to all known adult occupants , a copy is
then physically delivered to the rental premises and a copy placed in the mail
with regular postage affixed. When delivering a
copy to the unit, if no one answers your knock may post the notice in a
visible place (the door) and mail a copy regular mail (if your agreement says
certified send both regular and certified).
What notice should I use?
There are four standard notices in the state of Washington. A 3 Day Pay
Rent or Vacate is for rent and rent related charges. A Three Day to Terminate is
for Waste, Nuisance or Illegal Use, but only for drastic situations. A 10 Day to
Comply is for behavioral problems or non-rent related money situations. A 20 day
terminate is to end the tenancy at the end of a rental period, when the tenancy
is month-to-month. There are exceptions to this such as when a tenant is on a
lease or the property is inside the Seattle City Limits where the "Just Cause"
eviction ordinance is in effect.
Can I talk directly to one of the Attorney’s?
You can talk with any of the Attorney’s but as we work on a set fee basis
for each step of the process, meetings with the Attorney’s are done on their
hourly rate and are scheduled directly through each individual attorney.
Can I come in and discuss things with my representative personally instead of
over the phone?

will need to have an appointment .
