Commonly Used Forms

Below are most of the forms that our clients need to begin an eviction.
Just a note to remind you: if the tenant in question is a subsidized tenant (i.e. Section 8), you will need to use the Section 8 form.

For more information regarding the use of these forms, please refer to the FAQs.

Please note that we are changing to new software, and that will require a single email with a single attachment per email.   Any new evictions to start will require a separate email per new eviction with a single attachment with all of the required forms– the notice, lease, ledger, and application for tenancy.   

All general emails should be sent to info@puckettredford.com

THE LANGUAGE NEEDED FOR THE CITY OF SEATTLE:

The required language below is required on any eviction notice in the city of Seattle. Note that the first sentence must be bold and all caps and the entire disclosure language cannot be smaller than 12 point type.

RIGHT TO LEGAL COUNSEL: CITY LAW PROVIDES RENTERS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR AN ATTORNEY THE RIGHT TO FREE LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN AN EVICTION LAWSUIT. If you need help understanding this notice or information about your renter rights, call the Renting in Seattle Helpline at (206) 684-5700 or visit the web site at www.seattle.gov/rentinginseattle. City law entitles you to pay overdue rent in instalments. If your landlord does not accept payment according to the instalment schedule, you may raise this as a defense to eviction in court. If you cannot pay rent, during or within 6 months after the end of the Mayor’s moratorium on evictions, your inability to pay is a defense that you may raise in court.

THE LANGUAGE NEEDED FOR THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (REQUIRED TO BE IN BOLD AND AT LEAST 16 POINT TYPE):

If you are a Veteran of the U.S. Military, you may be able to access housing resources by calling 2-1-1 or contacting the King County Veterans Program for assistance with rent, relocation, or other support services.
