Standing In The Shadows: Honoring The Contractual Obligations Of Cohabitants For Support, Tammy L. Lewis
Seattle University Law Review
Initially, this Comment will examine traditional theories of marital support and their relation to post-cohabitant support. Next, this Comment will review express contract, implied-in-fact contract, and quasi-contract theories of support and how these different theories have been effectively applied by various state courts. A brief discussion follows concerning federal courts and the confusion surrounding the federal jurisdiction of cohabitation actions. Finally, the contract theories of relief will be contrasted against proposed legal status solutions.Ultimately, this Comment concludes that post-cohabitation support issues are best resolved through contract theories. Solutions based on legal status are extremely intrusive and impose unbargained-for terms upon …

Dependent Covenants In Commercial Leases: Hindquarter Corp. V. Property Development Corp., Tracy R. Antley Faust
Dependent Covenants In Commercial Leases: Hindquarter Corp. V. Property Development Corp., Tracy R. Antley Faust
Seattle University Law Review
This Note demonstrates that the Washington Supreme Court correctly applied contract principles to the Hindquarter lease dispute. The Note first reviews the historical development of dependent covenants in both residential and commercial contexts. After setting out this important background information, the Note examines Hindquarter and the three factors that influenced the Washington Supreme Court in following the dependent covenants trend: (1) material inducements to execute the lease; (2) the intent of the parties; and (3) equity and policy considerations. The Note concludes that, even though the landlord prevailed in Hindquarter, commercial tenants stand to gain most from the supreme …

Retaliatory Eviction And Periodic Tenants In Washington, Phillip Raymond
Retaliatory Eviction And Periodic Tenants In Washington, Phillip Raymond
Seattle University Law Review
This comment evaluates the availability of the retaliatory eviction defense to periodic tenants in Washington State in light of a recent appellate court decision, Stephanus v. Anderson, denying periodic tenants the defense where the statutorily required twenty day termination notice is provided. An analysis of the basic policies underlying the Act, to ensure safe, sanitary housing conditions and to prohibit landlords' retaliatory actions against tenants exercising their rights to attain decent housing conditions, indicates periodic tenants be allowed to assert the retaliatory eviction defense. Additionally, the language of the retaliatory action provision of the statute supports an interpretation granting …
Enforceability Of Land Use Servitudes Benefiting Local Government In Washington, Stephen Phillabaum
Enforceability Of Land Use Servitudes Benefiting Local Government In Washington, Stephen Phillabaum
Seattle University Law Review
Washington courts are free to enforce publicland use servitudes. Of the elements required for a servitude to run with the land, form, notice, and touch and concern on the burden side do not bar running. Only the touch and concern element applied on the benefit side is a potential bar. Washington conceivably could allow public land use servitudes to run with the land by following the minority position of not requiring touch and concern on the benefit side. A less stringent theory, however, is available to enforce public land use servitudes. Washington has not adopted a rule that public servitudes …
