A Washington state landlord organized a protest outside their rental property Saturday to call attention to a tenant who has not paid rent since May of 2023.

Get ready for April 8 by checking out our Total Solar Eclipse page, with everything you need to know for the big day!Image of people at a protest outside a Bellevue rental hometo call attention to a tenant who hasn’t paid rent since May of last year. Jaskaran Singh owns a single-family home in Bellevue and rented it to a couple and their children in the summer of 2022. KOMO News is not naming the tenants at this point.

However, the tenant decided to stay, and Singh said the problems he had collecting rent started all over again.Late last year, the landlord filed again to have the tenants evicted for non-payment and was granted a writ of execution in January, but the HJP requested a stay on that eviction, with the next court case scheduled for April.

Singh said he has tried to get help from the Legislature as well as local leaders to no avail and at this point is out $80,000. Thus, he organized the protest Saturday morning. “The statute still requires this to be done in 30 days, and the whole reason that statute was created was because of the consequences on homeowners and tenants as well,” Freeborn said.

Freeborn talked to KOMO after the protest on Saturday. He estimates about 200 showed up to rally as they brought awareness not only to his client’s ordeal, but also the issues other landlords have faced.
