Serve a notice to comply or vacate. Forms are available on my website, washingtonlandlordtenant.info.
The time for them to comply (by paying the deposit) or vacate is ten days, unless your lease grants more time for the tenant to cure a default. Also see my legal guide on avvo.com for serving eviction notices. It is very important that the manner in which you serve the notice complies with the statute, more specifically, RCW 59.12.040. http://www.avvo.com/legal-guides/ugc/how-to-pro...
