By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

Unless your brother commits an actual crime the police don’t have any power over a civil matter (until he resists an eviction notice). If your brother becomes threatening or violent this is when your parents call 911.
Your parents would benefit by going to Al-Anon meetings so they can more clearly see and defend boundaries. Or/and, they can talk to a rehab counselor about an intervention. Your parents are helping to keep him sick by enabling him. It may be worse than kicking him out and him being homeless for a while.
If I were your parents I might consider being prepared for a day when he's out of the house. Then I'd pack all his crap up in a duffle bag and put it outside and change the locks or key code. They can give him a gift card for 1 or 2 nights at a motel while he collects his thoughts. Then if he keeps returning to the condo they can maybe try to get a restraining order.
Rather than guessing, your parents could go straight to an attorney to find out what their options are. It will be less money than what your parents are wasting on your brother currently.
this is what popped up:
1. Landlord serves a seven- to 30-day eviction notice.
2. Landlord files an eviction lawsuit with the court.
3. Court serves tenant a summons.
4. Tenant files an appearance.
5. Landlord and tenant attend court hearing and receive judgment.
6. Writ of restitution is served.
7. Sheriff returns to forcibly remove the tenant.
The landlord has a right to know what is going on. Is there a reason why you wouldn’t want his involvement?
My oldest brother, now deceased was an addict. I know how hard this is for your family. I’m so sorry that you are dealing with this.
The landlord is either the owner or the owner's agent and is responsible for the upkeep of the property and the payment of dues, etc.
How could you possibly sneak this by the landlord?? I think you'd be far better off getting the landlord's input as there may be contractual issues if your dad simply evicts your brother. Unless the landlord is not ever around--you can't slip something like this by him.
Curious--what kind of damage are you talking about? There's really no way the landlord isn't going to find out what's up. I think full on honesty is best in this situation.
