Re: rental house makes my daughter sick

Don't take legal advice from your landlord. Even if he is a lawyer, he has a vested interest in having you agree with his position.

You need to read Title 59 Chapter 18 of the RCWs. There is a way to give notice and get out (in writing) if the place is that bad. There is also a way to get money to relocate and have no further duty to your landlord.

If you need more help than this, call the county Bar for a referral or to get the time and place of the next clinic.

Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
