Landlord-tenant law is now much more complex and nuanced. New laws change how notices must be served, and sometimes dictate font and/or specific language.

Even a small hyper-technical error can mean starting over. Consult with a lawyer first.

Commercial Evictions

While commercial landlord-tenant law has not seen the overhaul that residential landlord-tenant law has, the legal/political climate has changed, and some local laws impact commercial cases as well. We regularly handle commercial landlord-tenant disputes.

We represent both commercial tenants and landlords throughout the Puget Sound area.

Ejectment Actions

Ejectment (rather than the more common unlawful detainer action) is required to obtain possession against non-tenants.

This typically applies where friends or family reside in the owner's property free of rent obligations.

Landlord Defense

We defend landlords in lawsuits brought by former tenants and in fair housing complaints involving prospective, current, or former tenants.

Our practice also includes commercial landlord‑tenant disputes, representing businesses on both sides of the lease when conflicts arise.
