Modifying requirements for service of unlawful detainer notices and other notices served in the same manner.

Summary

The bill updates Washington’s civil procedure code to allow more ways to serve unlawful detainer and related notices, including leaving a copy with a suitable person and certified mail, or posting the notice on the property when a tenant’s address is unknown. It also adds a five‑day delay before a landlord can start an eviction action after a notice is mailed. The changes affect tenants, subtenants, hotel guests, corporations, and landlords.
