(I posted this in law and ethics as well, sorry about the repost, just wanted to get answers from this section as well as it seems relevant)
I live in an apartment in Whatcom County in Washington state. My lease is up at the end of this month, but states that it turns into a month to month indefinitely afterwards.
At 9 pm Friday August 15 my landlord knocked on the door and handed me a "20-Day notice to terminate tenancy" What I don't understand though is that for "RCW 59.12.030" which is what he stated on my notice that it HAS to be 20 days PRIOR to the end of the month, and that it has to end on the last day of the rental period.
My rent is due on the 1st of every month but on the notice it says I have to be out by September 4th. I know that this isn't legal but I don't know what to do anymore. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I don't know if this will have an relevance and help at ALL, but the landlord also harasses me constantly and accuses me of BS things that I have not done.
Thanks in advance
