"The Seattle Office of Civil Rights (SOCR) will begin work on how to implement and enforce it""Prospective renters will also have the option to sue a landlord"Seattle is apparently breaking new ground by requiring landlords in the city to rent their housing units on a first-come, first-served basis.Usually when the SOCR gets involved, it gets very very expensive to the Landlord to try and keep their property.

Sometime it is just easier for them to tell you ”it’s civil matter”.

But then changed his mind and said it was a civil matter.It seems really strange to me that a tenant can take whatever he wants and it ok and not stealing. 

It also gives you an expert witness in case things end up in litigation.

@Nik Moushon & @Wayne Brooks having experience in both FL where I am from and invest and the west coast here where I live now and have begun to invest....A survey is required for a financed closing in FL and costs about $400, a survey is NOT required or normal for a closing in CA...and as a working land use/site civil...a simple boundary survey out here will run you $1,500 on the low low end....usually more like $2,500.As for the adverse possession claim, as has been mentioned above AP would not come into play here....what could come into play is a "prescriptive easement'.

Her practice is focused on predatory lending, consumer and fraud litigation, and bankruptcy.

But most litigation attorneys would cringe, as this stuff is likely discoverable if you continue the fight.  

I also have a general purpose RE attorney and yet another attorney who is a bulldog litigator. 

Which justifies the practice and pattern of civil racketeering counter claim.

The road for instance, will have be designed and certified by a civil engineer, including drainage.
