Ejectment is required against non-tenants. It may also be possible to evict tenants with an ejectment action, but this is not always ideal, and courts may reject an ejectment action against a tenant in some situations.
Consult with an attorney for advice about ejectment.
If the foreclosed former owner and/or other occupants refuse to vacate, the buyer must evict the occupants (even if there are no tenants in the property).
Washington Landlord-Tenant Attorney
At Eller Law Firm PLLC, attorney Travis Scott Eller Washington focuses on Washington landlord‑tenant law, helping landlords navigate an increasingly complex and evolving legal landscape.
For more than two decades, he has seen every shift in landlord-tenant law and is in the trenches every day. He has successfully litigated landlord-tenant and eviction cases through every phase and facet: representing commercial and residential landlords in evictions; defending landlords against claims and lawsuits; litigating through civil trials, arbitations, and appeals.
Mr. Eller presents frequently at bar-approved continuing legal education seminars on landlord-tenant law. He has spoken on landlord-tenant law for landlord industry groups and for the King County Law Library and authored works on landlord-tenant law available at the King County Law Library and the Pierce County Law Library. He scored in the 96th percentile on the Law School Admissions Test, was invited to apply by his law school of choice, was awarded a merit-based scholarship, and later earned the National Institute for Trial Advocacy's "Advocate" designation.
