Re: Do I have to except rent on a 3 day pay or vacate?
Every action pursuant to the RLTA requires good faith. If you give a 3-day notice and then refuse to accept rent that can be a defense to your action. You need to provide an address where rent should be paid.
This is your situation, and I don't know nearly enough to offer read advice. Based on what you are saying, I'd recommend talking to Puckett & Redford in Seattle. They can help you.
