Free Eviction Forms
Important, Please Read:
The forms on this site are drafted by an attorney licensed in the state of Washington. Their use may not be appropriate outside that jurisdiction.
Furthermore, even in Washington the choice of particular forms as well as the customization of the content of a form and its use in a specific situation will effect your legal rights and may not be in your best interests. Nothing in this site is a substitute for legal advice.
It is important to remember that landlord-tenant law varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. You should always seek information about landlord-tenant law in your area.
In Washington the eviction notices must be served in strict compliance with time and manner requirements. Serve enough notices for each adult occupying the property. Certified mail alone is NOT legally sufficient notice. Posting without also mailing is NOT legally sufficient notice. For more information on proper service of notices see our page on serving eviction notices, download and carefully read the pamphlet on serving eviction notices, or contact us.
While substantial compliance is sufficient for form and content requirements, there are some common mistakes to avoid. The notice to pay rent or vacate should NOT include non-rent items, such as deposits. If your lease provides more than the statutory minimum time for compliance, you will have to comply with the lease and grant more time in the notice.
These are simple a few tips and not a substitute for legal advice.
