The first step towards evicting a tenant for non-payment of rent, is the issuance of a 14 Day Notice.

If a Washington Tenant violates the Lease Agreement for reasons other than non-payment of rent, the Landlord should issue a 10-day notice to comply or vacate.

Landlords should use the Washington 20 Day Notice to Vacate to properly terminate a month to month tenancy only when the following circumstances apply: <br> •Tenant or the landlord sharing a dwelling unit (house or apartment), kitchen or bathroom and,<br> •The landlord believes you have made unwanted sexual advances towards or sexually harassed the property owner, a manager, or another tenant, in violation of the lease, or<br> •The landlord believes you have harassed the landlord, an employee or another tenant on the basis of race, gender or another protected status.<br><br> If these do not apply then WA Landlords should consider the 14 Day Notice to Vacate as well as verify with their local and state requirements for proper eviction process.

Washington Landlords should issue this 3-day notice to quit if a Tenant engages in activity that is dangerous to the health and safety of other residents or the rental property.
