    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of:Washington..my lease was up a few months ago, and I'm on sect 8, but the apts never gave me another lease, my apartment has has a few leaks, to include a sewer backup and nothing has been done except for drying out the carpet, can the landlord give me an eviction notice to move so they can repipe the apt

    Default Re: Can My Landlord Make Me Move Because They Want to Repipe the Apartment at

    Did the lease have an auto-renewal option? If not you are a month-to-month tenant. They can certainly give you 20 day notice that they will not be renewing your month-to-month tenancy just as you only need give them 20 days if you intend to move out. That's distinct from eviction. Eviction occurs if you don't move out at the end of the tenancy period (or you otherwise violate the lease like not paying rent). Are they offering you a different unit?

    At one time there were essentially auto renewal requirements under Secton 8.....they have changed a bit..and I have not kept up....my suggestion is to also check the Section 8 requirements in your state.

    I've watched an apartment complex do a major re plumbing ....and all it took was about 1 weeks temporary lodging elsewhere ...I don't know extent of your re plumbing

    No they are not offering me another unit, I had found another apt elsewhere but 4days before I was to move I was informed by sect 8 the apt was $74 over my allotment so they won't approve it, I went and asked the current landlord about me moving out and moving back when the apt was done buy that wasn't apparently an option because I never received a reply
