Washington Condominium Conversion 120-Day Notice to Vacate
Washington Condominium Conversion 120-Day Notice to Vacate
Before use: Use this notice only for an actual conversion condominium governed by RCW 64.34.440. Deliver the completed public offering statement with this notice to every residential tenant and subtenant in possession. Give at least 120 days before the stated vacate date, and honor any longer existing lease term. The conversion building route under RCW 64.90.655 requires its own review. Complete the local program and unit purchase sections before service.
Notice issued: [__/__/____]
To residential tenant or subtenant: [FULL NAME]
Unit and property address: [ADDRESS, UNIT, CITY, WASHINGTON ZIP]
From declarant / dealer: [NAME, ROLE AND MAILING ADDRESS]
Conversion and possession notice
The owner has elected to withdraw this rental unit to pursue conversion of [BUILDING NAME AND ADDRESS] to condominium ownership under RCW 64.34.440. Under RCW 59.18.650(2)(g) and 59.18.200(2)(b), your tenancy will end and you must vacate and return possession by [TIME] on [VACATE DATE: __/__/____]. This date is at least 120 days after delivery of this notice and the attached public offering statement, and no earlier than the end of your existing lease term.
Conversion facts known when this notice is issued: [OWNER'S DECISION, PROJECT SCOPE, EXPECTED DECLARATION OR OFFERING, UNIT IDENTIFICATION, AND OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING THIS GROUND].
The terms of your tenancy will not change during the 120-day notice period merely because of this conversion. A separate ground for termination remains subject to its own law. Failure to give the required conversion notice is a defense to a possession action. This notice does not authorize removal without lawful court process.

Landlord-tenant paperwork governs who can stay in a property, on what terms, and what happens when something goes wrong. Leases, notices to quit, security deposit demands, and habitability complaints all have state and often city-specific requirements for timing, content, and service. Getting the paperwork right is what makes an eviction actually succeed or a security deposit actually come back, because judges regularly dismiss cases over small procedural mistakes.
