I'm on a month to month w/L. I have a notice
to show cause on the 26th. L has not gave
any notice of wanting to terminate lease. He
gave us eviction notice "based" on we're not
paying the rent only we have tried to pay
monies that they refused to take (partial
payment). We have been making partials every
month for 16 months all of the sudden it is
not acceptable. Can he do this? His staff
is also harrassing us and verbally abusive.
my email is
[email protected], shannon
and jesse wallace. Thanks for your advice.

Are you being evicted or has L just given you notice that he's terminating your lease effective 11/1?
There are no laws saying pregnant women don't have to pay rent or follow the terms in the lease. However, if L is terminating the lease because you breached a term *other* than paying rent on time, you can ask the judge to stay the writ of restitution to give you a chance to find new housing. If your rent's current & you promise to follow the rules during the stay, the judge will probably grant it. Otherwise, the judge is supposed to tell the sheriff to boot you out within 10 days.
Go to your office supply store & buy an eviction kit. It will tell you how to fight the eviction properly. They're published by Washington Legal Forms Inc, I believe.
You can read the WA landlord tenant act in RCW 59.18.
