Landlord-Tenant Law
Owning rental property should be rewarding, not a source of constant worry. Washington has detailed rules governing the landlord tenant relationship, and the notice requirements and deadlines are strict. A small misstep can cost you time and money. Cross Sound Law Group represents landlords across Kitsap, Jefferson & Clallam Counties, helping you protect your property and your investment and take the right steps at the right time.
Leases & Rental Agreements
A strong lease is the best way to avoid a dispute. We can draft or review residential and commercial lease agreements, addenda, and rental policies so that your expectations are clear from the start and your documents comply with current Washington law.
Notices & Enforcement
When a tenant falls behind on rent or violates the terms of the lease, the way you respond matters. We can advise you on your options and prepare the required notices, including pay or vacate notices, lease violation notices, and termination notices, so that they are properly drafted and served.
Evictions & Landlord Tenant Litigation
If a problem cannot be resolved with a notice, we can represent you in unlawful detainer (eviction) actions and other landlord tenant litigation, including collection of unpaid rent, property damage claims, and disputes over security deposits. We work toward a practical resolution through negotiation or mediation where possible, and we are prepared to go to court when necessary.
