Re: remove tenants for demolition of old apartments building

That depends upon where the building is located. If it is in Seattle, then the Seattle Tenant Eviction Ordinance requires certain steps to be followed. Otherwise, everywhere else in Washington, to my knowledge, has no such restrictions and requirements for compensation. You need to speak with an attorney about this matter.
