Hire a lawyer. Don't seek legal advice on Reddit.

Reddit is for fun. For important stuff seek advice from actual experts.

I understand, but I can't find much that would help me atm which is why I'm looking at the no contact order. I'm looking for advice on the best way to get a no contact order or what I have to do to get it to pass

Just honestly complete the forms. Are there substantiated threats of violence, or violent acts against you and/or family members? Are there calls to police?

generally after filling the forms, you get a judge and they give you a temp 10(?) day order providing you have given cause for a judge to take it as a legit concern. these usually don't get denied. you will need to appear and them too. you to show cause (now you have to substantiate your claims) as to why it should be extended...probably a year...depends. and them to defend themselves. if they no show, you automatically win...i THINK. some of this probably varies from state to state.

In Washington State, usually granted for two years I believe. You can also get her emergency evicted. Landlord tenant laws and links to help

I live in Washington too. Had to emergency evict a roommate. Had his ass out in 72 hours.

How did you do it? Where you able to do it yourself or did you need a lawyer? Do you remember the costs?

However, there are some lease violations that are deemed “non-curable.” These non-curable violations require a 3-Day Notice to Quit. Tenants cannot fix the violation and are required to move out by the end of 3 days.

Non-curable lease violations include:

Engaging in criminal activity

Being a nuisance on the rental property

Hosting an illegal or unlawful business

Creating harmful waste

In the case of illegal activity, a landlord is not legally obligated to give tenants a written notice. A landlord may proceed directly to the next step in the eviction process.

Illegal activity includes:

Physical assault that leads to an arrest

Possession and/or firing of an illegal firearm

Involvement in the creation, distribution, or consumption of a controlled substance
