How to Fill Out Washington Form LT 01 (w/Examples) + FAQs

Washington Form LT 01 is the Eviction Summons (Residential) that a landlord must serve on a tenant to start an unlawful detainer (eviction) lawsuit under RCW 59.18 and RCW 59.12. The form tells the tenant they are being sued, sets the deadline to respond, and warns that failure to answer in writing will likely result in a default judgment for possession, unpaid rent, late fees, court costs, and attorney’s fees.

This article walks through the current revision of Form LT 01 (Revised 09/2023) published on the Washington Courts website. According to data published by the Washington State Center for Court Research, more than 18,000 residential unlawful detainer cases are filed in Washington each year, and roughly 1 in 7 are dismissed for defective summons or service errors — making the small print on LT 01 one of the most consequential pages in the entire eviction process.

What Form LT 01 Is and Who Must File It

Form LT 01 is the Residential Eviction Summons issued by the Washington Administrative Office of the Courts under the Pattern Forms Committee. It is the official statewide companion to the Complaint for Unlawful Detainer, and it is required for almost every residential eviction filed under the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act. When the Washington Legislature passed SB 5160 in 2021, it created a uniform answer period and a mandatory eviction resolution pathway, and LT 01 was rewritten to capture both.

Landlords, property managers, and landlord attorneys file this form. Mobile-home park owners covered by RCW 59.20 use a different summons, and commercial landlords use the general unlawful detainer summons under RCW 59.12. LT 01 is only for residential tenancies covered by the RLTA, including month-to-month tenants, fixed-term tenants, and tenants holding over after a notice period has expired.

The agency that ultimately receives the filed copy is the Superior Court in the county where the rental property sits, although a few district courts will accept residential UD cases under concurrent jurisdiction set by RCW 12.40. The statute that requires the summons is RCW 59.18.365, which sets the form, content, and answer deadline. The penalty for non-compliance is brutal — a defective summons is grounds for dismissal, and the landlord must restart the entire notice-and-service clock from zero.

A common misconception is that any summons template will work. It will not. Washington courts routinely reject homemade summonses that omit the eviction resolution language or that miscalculate the answer date, even if every other word is correct.

Before You Start: Documents and Information You Need

Filling out LT 01 is not a guessing exercise. You need every fact below in front of you before you open the PDF, because each one maps directly to a box on the form and a missing item creates a fatal gap in your case file.

Below is the pre-filing checklist. Each item explains why it matters and what happens if you skip it.

The original lease or rental agreement. You need it to confirm the legal names of every adult tenant; missing a tenant’s legal name on the summons means the court cannot enter judgment against that person.
The underlying notice you served. Whether it is a 14-day pay-or-vacate, 10-day comply-or-vacate, or 20-day no-cause notice, you must attach it to the Complaint and reference its date on LT 01.
Proof of service of the underlying notice. Without a Declaration of Service for the notice, the court will not find that the notice period started running.
The exact property address. The summons and complaint must match the address on the lease and on the notice; a typo can void service.
Each tenant’s last known address. Required if you must use posting-and-mailing service under RCW 59.18.055.
Your WSBA number, if you are an attorney. Pro se landlords leave this blank, but corporate landlords (LLCs, corporations) must hire counsel under General Rule 24.
The unpaid rent ledger. You will state the amount owed in the complaint, and the summons answer deadline depends on whether the case is for nonpayment.
The Eviction Resolution Program (ERP) certification. Many counties require proof you offered ERP before filing; without it the court can stay the case.
A check or e-filing account for the filing fee. Superior Court charges $240 to open the case, plus issuance and ex parte fees that vary by county.
A current self-addressed stamped envelope if you file by mail, so the clerk can return your conformed copy.

The most common omission is the proof of service of the underlying notice. Without it, the judge will not even reach the merits of the eviction.

Where to Get the Form and How to Access It

The official, current version of LT 01 lives on the Washington Courts forms library. You can download it directly from the Washington Courts pattern forms page, which hosts the fillable PDF and a Microsoft Word version. Always pull the form fresh — older revisions still circulate online and they no longer match RCW 59.18.365.

The form is free. You should not pay any third-party site for a copy. The fillable PDF is the easiest version to use because it auto-formats the answer deadline calculation field and tabs you through the caption boxes. Save the file with a clear name like Smith v. Jones LT 01 Summons.pdf so you can find it again when the clerk asks for it during issuance.

If you do not have Adobe Acrobat or another PDF editor, the Word version on the Washington Courts site works in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice. Print the completed form on plain white 8.5 × 11 paper, single-sided, with one-inch margins. Stapling the summons is fine, but never stapling the proof of service — most clerks reject stapled service declarations.

A misconception many new landlords hold is that the summons must be issued by the clerk before service. In Washington unlawful detainer practice, the landlord (or a process server) signs and serves the summons first, then the case is filed. This is the unique pre-filing service rule under RCW 59.18.365, and it trips up landlords who come from other states.

Step-by-Step: How to Fill Out Washington Form LT 01 Line by Line

The form has one page of caption fields, one page of statutorily required notice text, and a signature block. Work top to bottom and do not skip ahead.

Caption: Superior Court of Washington, County of ____

Plain English: This is the line where you write the county where the rental property sits.

How to answer: Type or print the county name in all capital letters, no abbreviations. Use the county where the property is physically located, not where you live and not where the tenant works. Venue is set by RCW 59.12.070.

Example: Maria Lopez, who owns a duplex on Rainier Avenue South in Seattle, writes KING in the county blank.

Nuance: If your property straddles a county line (a real situation in places like Auburn or Bothell), file in the county where the dwelling unit’s front door is located.

Common mistake and consequence: Filing in the landlord’s home county instead of the property county is the most common venue error; the tenant can move to dismiss or transfer, and you lose 30 to 60 days.

Misconception: Many landlords think they can choose any county “for convenience.” Washington venue is mandatory in unlawful detainer cases, not permissive.

Caption: Plaintiff(s) Name(s)

Plain English: Who is suing — the landlord or the property owner of record.

How to answer: Use the legal name exactly as it appears on the deed or business license. If an LLC owns the property, write the LLC’s full registered name. If two people own it together, list both.

Example: Cascade Holdings LLC writes its registered name; individual owner Marcus Chen writes his full legal name.

Nuance: If the property is owned by a trust, name the trustee in their representative capacity, e.g., Jane Doe, as Trustee of the Doe Family Trust dated 1/1/2010.

Common mistake and consequence: Listing a “doing business as” name (like Sunset Apartments) instead of the legal owner triggers a motion to dismiss for lack of capacity to sue.

Misconception: A property manager is not a proper plaintiff; the actual landlord/owner must be named even if a manager handles day-to-day operations.

Caption: Defendant(s) Name(s)

Plain English: Every adult who lives in the unit and signed the lease, plus “all other occupants.”

How to answer: List each tenant’s full legal name from the lease. Add the phrase and all other occupants on a separate line so the writ of restitution can later remove unnamed roommates.

Example: Janet Nguyen, David Nguyen, and all other occupants.

Nuance: If you only know one tenant’s name and a roommate is “John Doe,” list John Doe as a placeholder so service on him is valid.

Common mistake and consequence: Forgetting and all other occupants lets a non-lease roommate stay in the unit even after the writ issues, requiring a second filing.

Misconception: You do not need to list minor children. Children are not parties; only adult occupants are.

Caption: Case Number

Plain English: The court-assigned case number.

How to answer: Leave blank if you have not yet filed. The clerk stamps the case number when you open the case. Most landlords serve the summons before filing, so this box stays empty during service.

Example: Maria Lopez leaves the Case No. line blank when she serves Janet, then writes 24-2-01234-5 KNT on the conformed copy after filing.

Nuance: If your county requires pre-assignment of a case number (rare, but King County does for some e-filed cases), enter it before service.

Common mistake and consequence: Writing a guessed case number creates a mismatch when the clerk assigns the real one, and the file becomes hard to track.

Misconception: A blank case number does not invalidate the summons. It is the answer date that matters.

Eviction Summons Title Block

Plain English: The bold “EVICTION SUMMONS (RESIDENTIAL)” header at the top of the body.

How to answer: Do not edit it. The exact title is required by RCW 59.18.365.

Example: The form already says EVICTION SUMMONS (RESIDENTIAL) in capital letters; leave it.

Nuance: If you are filing a non-residential matter, do not use this form at all — use the general civil summons.

Common mistake and consequence: Some landlords change the header to “Notice of Lawsuit” thinking it sounds more polite. That alteration voids the form.

Misconception: This is statutory language, not boilerplate. Editing it is grounds for dismissal.

Box 1: This Is Notice of a Lawsuit to Evict You

Plain English: A statement to the tenant that they are being sued.

How to answer: Nothing to fill in. Read it to make sure the printed text matches the current statute.

Example: Pre-printed text reads “This is notice of a lawsuit to evict you from the property where you live.”

Nuance: Some old templates floating online still use the pre-2021 wording. Confirm the form revision date in the lower-left footer reads 09/2023 or later.

Common mistake and consequence: Using a 2019 template means the answer-deadline language is wrong, and the tenant can argue defective notice.

Misconception: This box does not need a signature or a date; it is informational.

Box 2: Deadline for Your Written Response

Plain English: The line where you write the date and time the tenant’s written response is due.

How to answer: Count seven calendar days from the date of service for nonpayment-of-rent cases, and use the same seven-day window for most other UD cases under RCW 59.18.365. Write the deadline date in MM/DD/YYYY format and the time as 5:00 p.m.

Example: Maria serves Janet on Monday, 03/04/2026. She writes 03/11/2026 by 5:00 p.m. in the deadline blank.

Nuance: If day seven lands on a Saturday, Sunday, or court holiday, the deadline rolls to the next court day under CR 6.

Common mistake and consequence: Counting business days instead of calendar days shortens the answer window and is the single most common reason a default judgment gets vacated.

Misconception: The deadline is not “seven days from filing.” It is seven days from service on the tenant.

Box 3: How the Tenant Must Respond

Plain English: Tells the tenant they must respond in writing, by phone or email is not enough.

How to answer: No fill-in. Confirm the printed phone number for the Eviction Defense Screening Line (1-855-657-8387) and the 2-1-1 housing resource line are both on the form.

Example: Pre-printed text directs tenants to call 2-1-1 and the Eviction Defense Screening Line for a free attorney under the Right to Counsel program.

Nuance: Washington’s right-to-counsel law gives indigent tenants a free attorney. If you remove this language, the court will treat your summons as defective.

Common mistake and consequence: Crossing out the legal-aid phone numbers because they “encourage tenants to fight” is a fast way to lose your case at the show-cause hearing.

Misconception: The notice does not waive a tenant’s right to call legal aid; it is informational and required.

Box 4: Where to Send the Written Response

Plain English: The mailing address (and email if you accept email service) where the tenant sends their answer.

How to answer: Print the landlord’s or attorney’s name, full street address, city, state, ZIP, and email address. Email is optional but smart — it speeds up communication.

Example: Cascade Holdings LLC, c/o Marcus Chen, 1200 Pine Street, Suite 4, Seattle, WA 98101, marcus@cascadeholdings.com.

Nuance: A P.O. Box is acceptable for the mailing address but you should also list a physical address so the tenant can hand-deliver an answer.

Common mistake and consequence: Listing only the rental property’s address as the response address is nonsensical — the tenant lives there — and the court will reject the summons.

Misconception: You do not have to list your home address. A business address or your attorney’s address is fine.

Box 5: Eviction Resolution Pilot Program / ERPP Notice

Plain English: Tells the tenant about the county’s pre-filing dispute resolution program.

How to answer: Confirm the ERPP language is present and matches the Dispute Resolution Centers of Washington referral information. Counties such as King, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, and Thurston have active programs.

Example: Pre-printed text instructs nonpayment tenants to contact the local DRC; you do not edit this.

Nuance: Although the statewide ERPP under SB 5160 sunset in 2023, many counties kept local versions, and the LT 01 language still references DRCs as a resource.

Common mistake and consequence: Filing without first attempting ERPP in a county that still requires it leads to a stay or dismissal.

Misconception: ERPP is not the same as mediation at the courthouse; it happens before filing.

Box 6: Reason for the Eviction

Plain English: Short statement of why you are evicting — nonpayment, lease violation, no-cause, etc.

How to answer: Check the appropriate box and reference the underlying notice. Use the just cause category from RCW 59.18.650.

Example: Nonpayment of rent — 14-day notice served 02/15/2026, $2,400 owed.

Nuance: If you have multiple grounds (nonpayment AND lease violation), check each that applies and attach each notice.

Common mistake and consequence: Stating a “no cause” reason for a tenant covered by just-cause protections invalidates the entire summons because no-cause evictions are barred under RCW 59.18.650.

Misconception: Washington no longer allows pure “no-cause” terminations for most residential tenancies; the just-cause statute lists the only valid grounds.

Signature Block: Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s Attorney

Plain English: Where the landlord or attorney signs and dates the summons.

How to answer: Sign in blue or black ink. Print your name. If you are an attorney, list your WSBA number under your printed name.

Example: Marcus Chen, Member, Cascade Holdings LLC, 03/04/2026.

Nuance: An LLC or corporation cannot sign pro se under GR 24; a licensed attorney must sign.

Common mistake and consequence: A non-lawyer signing for an LLC voids the filing; the case will be dismissed for unauthorized practice of law.

Misconception: Initialing instead of signing is not a valid signature on a Washington pleading.

Footer: Form Revision Date

Plain English: The version stamp printed in the bottom-left corner of LT 01.

How to answer: Do not modify it. Confirm it reads LT 01 (09/2023) or the most recent revision listed on the Washington Courts forms page.

Example: Maria checks the footer reads LT 01 (09/2023) before printing.

Nuance: When the AOC issues a new revision, older versions are accepted for a brief grace period, but counties such as King vary.

Common mistake and consequence: Using a 2019 revision skips the right-to-counsel language added in 2021 and gets the summons rejected.

Misconception: Removing the revision footer to “look cleaner” makes it harder for the clerk to verify the form, and some clerks will refuse to file it.

How to File the Completed Form

You file LT 01 with the Superior Court Clerk in the property’s county after the summons has been served on the tenant. Filing is a separate step from issuance, and you must include a Complaint for Unlawful Detainer, the underlying notice, the Declaration of Service, and a Case Information Cover Sheet.

By e-filing. Most counties use the Washington Courts E-Filing portal or a local system such as King County’s eFiling. The filing fee is $240, payable by credit card or e-check. Processing time is typically same-day for filings submitted before 4:00 p.m. The portal returns a stamped, conformed copy as proof of filing.

By mail. Send the originals plus two copies to the Superior Court Clerk’s mailing address (for example, King County Superior Court Clerk, 516 Third Ave, Room E-609, Seattle, WA 98104). Include a check for $240 payable to the county clerk and a self-addressed stamped envelope. Processing time is 5 to 10 business days. Keep the returned conformed copy as proof.

In person. Walk the originals into the clerk’s counter during business hours. Pay the $240 fee by check, money order, credit card, or cash where accepted. Processing time is immediate. The clerk hands you a conformed copy at the counter.

By fax. Most Washington Superior Courts no longer accept fax filings for new cases; confirm with the local clerk before relying on this channel.

The proof-of-filing you keep is the conformed copy with the clerk’s date stamp and the assigned case number. Without it you cannot apply for an Order to Show Cause or a Writ of Restitution.

What Happens After You File

Once the clerk stamps the case open, you submit a Motion and Declaration for Order to Show Cause to the ex parte department. The judge signs an Order to Show Cause that sets a hearing 7 to 30 days out, and you must serve that order on the tenant.

If the tenant files a written response by the LT 01 deadline, the case proceeds to the show-cause hearing where a Superior Court Commissioner decides whether to issue a Writ of Restitution. If the tenant does not respond, you can move for an order of default and writ on the papers under CR 55. The writ directs the county sheriff to physically remove the tenant.

Tenants who qualify for the Right to Counsel program get a free attorney appointed at this stage. The Office of Civil Legal Aid funds this program statewide, and appointment can extend the case timeline by two to four weeks while counsel reviews defenses.

The sheriff typically schedules the physical eviction 5 to 10 days after the writ issues. Tenants can file a motion to stay the writ for up to 90 days if they show good faith and partial payment under RCW 59.18.410. Plan for an end-to-end timeline of 4 to 12 weeks from filing to lockout in a contested case.

Mistakes to Avoid When Filling Out the Form

These are the field-level errors most likely to sink an eviction case in Washington.

Counting business days instead of calendar days for the response deadline; the tenant gets a longer window and any default is voidable.
Filing the case in the wrong county; the case is dismissed or transferred and you lose weeks.
Using an outdated form revision; the summons is defective for missing the right-to-counsel language.
Signing as a non-lawyer for an LLC or corporation; the case is dismissed for unauthorized practice of law.
Omitting and all other occupants from the defendant block; the writ cannot remove unnamed roommates.
Listing the rental property address as the response address; the court rejects the summons as nonsensical.
Crossing out the 2-1-1 and Eviction Defense Screening Line phone numbers; the summons is defective.
Forgetting to attach the underlying notice to the Complaint; the judge cannot find the notice period ran.
Skipping the ERPP language in counties that still require it; the case is stayed pending compliance.
Signing the summons but not dating it; the answer-deadline calculation cannot be verified and the default is voidable.
Stating “no cause” as the reason in a just-cause-protected tenancy; the entire action is barred.
Failing to keep proof of service; the tenant’s motion to vacate succeeds and you start over.

Do’s and Don’ts

A short field guide to the habits that protect your case.

Do download the latest LT 01 directly from the Washington Courts forms library; using the source means you always have the right revision.
Do count seven calendar days from service for the response deadline; that matches the statutory text.
Do include and all other occupants in the defendant caption; that future-proofs the writ.
Do keep a stamped conformed copy of every filed document; the clerk’s stamp is your proof of timing.
Do serve the summons through a registered process server when possible; their declaration carries more weight than a friend’s.
Do confirm just-cause grounds before drafting; choosing the wrong reason is fatal.
Don’t edit the statutory text in the body of LT 01; that voids the form.
Don’t sign for an LLC without an attorney; GR 24 prohibits it.
Don’t rely on text or email service of the summons; personal service or posting-and-mailing is required.
Don’t ignore the ERPP referral language; courts in many counties enforce it.
Don’t file in your own home county for “convenience”; venue is mandatory.
Don’t guess at the case number; the clerk assigns it at filing.

Pros and Cons of Filing on Your Own vs. With Help

Many landlords debate whether to file LT 01 pro se or hire counsel. Each path has real costs.

Pros of filing pro se:

Saves $1,500 to $4,000 in attorney’s fees on a routine nonpayment case; for small landlords this is meaningful.
Forces you to learn the process so the next eviction is faster.
You control timing and do not wait for an attorney’s calendar.
Sole-owner natural persons are allowed to appear pro se under GR 24.
You keep all communications in-house and avoid privilege questions.

Cons of filing pro se:

One field error voids the summons and forces a refile, costing more than the attorney would have charged.
LLCs and corporations cannot file pro se at all; signing yourself is unauthorized practice.
You face the Right to Counsel program attorney on the other side, and they litigate full time.
Pro se landlords cannot recover attorney’s fees; with counsel you can recover fees under most leases.
Procedural rules like CR 55 and local rules are nuanced, and a missed default motion drags the case out.

A useful comparison of the two filing channels for the summons itself is below.

Filing by Mail	Filing in Person or E-Filing
Slower 5–10 business day turnaround	Same-day stamped conformed copy
Risk of lost mail and missed deadlines	Direct confirmation of receipt
No instant case number for ex parte motions	Immediate case number to file the show-cause motion
Check payment only in most counties	Credit card, e-check, or cash accepted
Useful for out-of-county landlords	Best for active cases needing speed

FAQs

Do I have to use Form LT 01 or can I draft my own summons?

No. RCW 59.18.365 requires the statutory eviction summons, and Washington courts treat LT 01 as the safe-harbor template that satisfies it.

Is the response deadline 7 days or 20 days?

No — it is not 20 days. The deadline on LT 01 is seven calendar days from service for residential unlawful detainers under RCW 59.18.365.

Do I write the case number in the caption box before service?

No. Leave the case number blank pre-filing because the Superior Court Clerk assigns it when you open the case.

Should I list minor children as defendants?

No. Children are not parties; only adult tenants and all other occupants go in the defendant caption.

Can I serve the summons by email or text?

No. Personal service or, when allowed, posting-and-mailing under RCW 59.18.055 is required.

Do I count Saturdays and Sundays in the seven-day window?

Yes. They are calendar days, but if day seven lands on a weekend or court holiday the deadline rolls forward under CR 6.

Can my LLC sign LT 01 without a lawyer?

No. GR 24 treats LLC self-representation as unauthorized practice of law in Washington.

Is the filing fee the same in every county?

Yes. The Superior Court civil filing fee of $240 is uniform statewide, although ex parte and issuance fees vary.

Do I write the property address in the response address box?

No. Use your own address, your attorney’s, or a P.O. Box plus a physical address; the rental unit is never the response address.

Should I check more than one reason for eviction?

Yes when more than one applies. Check each ground and attach each underlying notice to the Complaint.

Can I cross out the legal aid phone numbers?

No. That language is statutory; striking it makes the summons defective and grounds for dismissal.

Is ERPP still required after the statewide program ended?

Yes in counties that kept local versions, including King, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, and Thurston; check with your local Dispute Resolution Center before filing.

Do I need to notarize the summons?

No. The signature block does not require notarization; the Declaration of Service does require either a notary or a sworn declaration under RCW 9A.72.085.

Can I file LT 01 in District Court instead of Superior Court?

No in most cases. Residential UD actions go to Superior Court; a few district courts accept them under RCW 12.40, but local rules vary.
