Synopsis

In this holdover, the court declines to find that the VAWA statute covers occupants without tenancy rights. The decision is consistent with the court's prior ruling in CHV 690-738 Albany Avenue LP v Kandil (LT-330166-24/KI, Mar. 11, 2026), and contrasts with Stammtisch Associates LP v Wright (No. 321993-25/KI, June 11, 2026), where the same judge reached a different conclusion.
