Some tenants will attempt to work with the landlord to promote the unit itself and find a replacement tenant before leaving the unit. Tenants can then demand that the landlord verify the replacement and if the landlord is willing to rent to them, they can sign a new lease. Oral rentals are legal in Washington State and are considered valid monthly agreements. Often, a lease indicates that the tenant waives the refund of his deposit if he does not respect the appropriate 20-day notice period when leaving the unit. This language may be an illegal waiver of your rights under landlord-tenant law. Under RCW 59.18.230 (2) (a), the law prohibits a lease agreement containing a language that could waive these rights. The owner-tenant law states that tenants must abide by all appropriate restrictions and rules set out in a rental agreement. . .
