Okay, here's the deal: I let a certain girl, we'll call her "C", stay with me, RENT FREE, for three months in New Orleans. We both ended up moving to Seattle, and I happened to run into her just as my previous apt.s lease was ending. She needed someone to help her with the 900 dollar rent, I needed a place. We split the rent 450/450, although I shared a closet with her son and my daughter, while she had her own... I slept on some blankets on the living room floor, while she had her own bedroom. She NEVER cleaned a THING, and was always dumping her poor kid off on me. Today, I took her kid to the store with me, and when I got back she was gone. She knew my mom was picking my daughter and I up at 7 pm, and that mom REALLY needed my help with something. I called her at 6:45, she said "i'll be there by 7:30, I SWEAR!" Oooookay. At 8:15 she strolls in, claiming that 'her bus broke down and her phone died' and that's what kept her. Whatevah. We have a couple words, nothing too serious (so I thought? ) and I leave to go help moms with her houswork. A few hours later, I get a call from her friend telling me I have TWO DAYS to get out. With my CHILD! I am not on the lease, but my understanding is that 30 days notice is needed to evict a roommate. Is this the case in WA? Can she evict me for nothing? Her friend said they were putting my things in plastic bags; I told her not to TOUCH anything of mine, not to pack it, nothing. I am not on the lease: do I have any rights at all? Sorry for the length, I'm venting a bit. I would never kick her and her kid out onto the street. Never.
