Wash. Rev. Code § 59.20 § 59.20.150
Service of notice on landlord or tenant.
Operative Text
(1) Any notice required by this chapter to be given to a tenant shall be served on behalf of the landlord: (a) By delivering a copy personally to the tenant; or (b) if the tenant is absent from the mobile home, manufactured home, or park model by affixing a copy of the notice in a conspicuous place on the mobile home, manufactured home, or park model and also sending a copy through the mail addressed to the tenant at the tenant's last known address. (2) Any notice required by this chapter to be given to the landlord shall be served by the tenant in the same manner as provided for in subsection (1) of this section, or by mail to the landlord at such place as shall be expressly provided in the rental agreement. (3) The landlord shall state in any notice of eviction required by RCW 59.20.080 (1) as now or hereafter amended the specific reason for eviction in a clear and concise manner.
Washington's Manufactured/Mobile Home Landlord-Tenant Act, at Wash. Rev. Code § 59.20.150, establishes the methods by which landlords and tenants must formally deliver required notices to one another. A landlord may serve a tenant by personal delivery or, if the tenant is absent, by posting a copy on the home and also mailing a copy to the tenant's last known address. When a notice of eviction is required under RCW 59.20.080(1), it must state the specific reason for the eviction in a clear and concise manner.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Wash. Rev. Code § 59.20.150, compliant operators ensure that any required notice is delivered either directly to the tenant in person or, when the tenant cannot be reached, by both posting the notice visibly on the mobile home, manufactured home, or park model and mailing a copy to the tenant's last known address. Landlords who issue eviction notices under RCW 59.20.080(1) include a specific, clearly worded explanation of the reason for eviction in the notice itself. Keeping accurate records of the tenant's current mailing address and documenting the method and date of service are practices generally associated with proper compliance under this section.

Wash. Rev. Code § 59.20.150 sets out the rules governing how notices must be delivered to you as a tenant in a mobile home park, and how you must deliver notices to your landlord. If you receive an eviction notice, this provision requires that it state the specific reason for eviction clearly and concisely; a notice that lacks this detail may not comply with the statute. Tenants who believe a notice was improperly served or that an eviction notice fails to meet the requirements of § 59.20.150 may consider raising this as a defense in any resulting proceeding, or may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Washington's manufactured housing laws.
