As provided in RCW 59.18.660(9), the Eviction Resolution Pilot Program (ERPP) will expire statewide on July 1, 2023.
Beginning July 1, 2023, landlords in Bellevue and Kirkland will no longer be required to secure a Certificate of Participation from the Bellevue Conflict Resolution Center (BCRC) before bringing an eviction (unlawful detainer) case for nonpayment of rent in the superior court. The BCRC encourages tenants and landlords to consult legal counsel as soon as possible regarding evictions based on unpaid rent.
Please email bcrc@bellevuewa.gov or call 425-452-4091 to discuss how we may be able to help. Interpretation services are available.
If you are faced with a conflict and need some help with it, the Bellevue Conflict Resolution Center may be able to help you. Many people who work or live in Bellevue call us to help them resolve their conflicts through free and confidential services.
Due to COVID-19, staff and volunteers are teleworking. While we monitor our voicemail and email closely, it is likely that you will need to leave a message and wait to be contacted. We still very much want to hear from you, and we thank you for your patience in this difficult time.
