My landlord is not going to renew my lease since I'm on Section 8 and he longer will accept the vouchers. Can he do this?

It is unfortunate what happened to you. Participation in Section 8 is voluntary for landlords in most areas of Washington state. However, the cities of Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, and unincorporated King County have made it unlawful to discriminate based on Section 8 vouchers. I have not found information that shows you will have this protection in the city of Silverdale or Kitsap County, but you could contact them to verify. The state of Washington has thus far not approved legislation...

Can you get a speeding ticket and a negligent 2 ticket at the same time in washington. isnt it one or the other .

You can be charged with a speeding infraction at the same time as negligent driving 2nd degree which is also an infraction. I am assuming that alcohol was not involved and your charge is not negligent driving 1st degree. The officer could articulate, for example, that speed, passing at such a differential speed (45mph), and other conditions such as weather, pedestrians, or the road conditions were factors that demonstrated negligent driving 2nd degree which includes not taking the same care...

Property Line

Can you please explain the circumstances and history of the dispute? Include the length of time the line has been in dispute, for example. If you don't want to detail it here, you should contact a Seattle area real estate attorney who may provide a free consultation to determine the viability of your claims regarding the property line dispute, and what actions should be taken.

Ex husband will not sign over vehicle title that was awarded to me in the Divorce Decree. What can I do?

Your attorney is correct, according to the Washington Administrative Code for the Department of Licensing, you only need a noncertified copy of the court's order which is the final filed divorce decree, if it includes the award of the vehicle. You can refer to the state's administrative code, link below. You may consider going to the county building to register your vehicle instead of the vehicle substation, where there may be a greater level of experience in handling this kind of vehicle...

I would like to know If I can vacate a Domestic violence 4th degree assault off my record.

If you qualify, you will need to petition by motion to vacate, in the court where you were convicted. The court, in its sole discretion, may permit you to change your plea to not guilty and vacate the conviction. The below link to the RCW, in section 2e, states the requirements for vacating a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction. 1) you can't have any prior domestic violence convictions and must provide an affidavit saying so, 2) it must be at least 5 years after the completion of...

Criminal Discovery

Since you appear to have an attorney assigned to your case, you should rely on the attorney regarding any advice you are seeking on your case. If no attorney is assigned, you should seek representation by a criminal defense lawyer due to the nature of the charge against you.

I recently got into a night club biz,i am 50/50 with the owner,my bills for my 50%are 5000 twords biz and 50% of operations

This question's answer will depend on the terms of the contract between you when establishing the business. This should indicate who has managerial control of the day to day operations, who can accrue additional debt, and what happens if one investor defaults on the contract. Any answers at this point would just be speculation.

Parking lot lost my car key

I assume that your cost for making the key was under $200. This can certainly be handled in small claims court. You might send a letter to the company explaining the situation and requesting they resolve it outside of court for the amount you are requesting, and again include the receipt. Send this letter return-receipt-requested and make sure it goes to the company headquarters. Give them a reasonable period of 14 days to pay the bill before you file your claim in court. Calling them...

Infraction in school zone

The speed citation you received is for an infraction and is not a crime. Also, these types of infractions do not appear on your driving record and are handled more like parking tickets under the law (see below link). Also note the city only has 14 days to send you the citation after the infraction and these are sometimes not issued timely. The question of whether the lights should be on at that time could be answered by asking the city's traffic engineer, in writing under a public...

Per RCW 9.73.030, Can the company I work for, record all communivations without announcing it to all parties involved?

As an employee, some of your rights in this area might have been waived. My first inquiry would be the policy, if any, published by your employer to its employees regarding the recording or interception of conversations. A published policy that you agreed to when hired could waive or reduce your expectation of privacy during communications over the company's phone lines. A lack of a policy or notice in this regard could be a violation of RCW 9.73. Your fear of termination for...
