Washington state laws on subleasing
My question is my family and I moved back to Washington from out for state with a friend so we can get back on our feet no type of agreement was signed she asked for 350 a month we paid her in march she later came back and said that she talked to some people and 350 was not enough for a family our size so she was raising it to 450 so we paid 450 in April. We could not use the heat in the house she ducktaped the thermostat, she also adjusted the hot water heater so you could not take a hot shower she later put note on the hot water heater saying that if you want to take a hot shower to go the truck stop they charge 10 dollars. You could only burn the fireplace but then that became a problem. She would say if your cold put on layers of clothes. While there my husband accidentally broke a picture frame, she said just go the dollar store and replace it, all of the kids were playing in the room mine and hers and broke a lamp we priced it at walmart for 12 dollars, an air mattress that we slept on one time and it got a leak some how, it could have been by her cat or her dog cause he would get on it and lay down but she feels that we should replace it. She has been harassing us constantly by texting and making threats, we spent the weekend at my best friends house and while over there she texted me that since we are there we need to stay she wanted us out of her house. What can we do
