Landlord intends to schedule Open House every day (WA)
We recently gave notice of our intent to vacate our current apartment. Our landlord replied back registering their intent to start showing the apartment ASAP, as an open house for 1 hour every day starting on the weekend during the day and during the week after work until the apartment is rented.
While I recognize that in WA they legally can show the apartment on 24 hours notice, my issue is that this is a blanket statement requiring us to permit entry every day. That doesn’t seem okay. Practically speaking though, we want to be around as long as we have things in the apartment. We cannot be there on Monday when they want to show it, due to a prior commitment - after that I’m actually fine for them to show it whenever so it can just be over with.
My question: based on the text of the law, can I refuse entry until the landlord and I can come to an agreement on what constitutes a reasonable schedule? If I refuse the showing on Monday but am not physically present to refuse entry, what happens if the landlord shows the apartment anyway?
This is the relevant law:
> The landlord shall not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant, and shall provide notice before entry as provided in this subsection. Except in the case of emergency or if it is impracticable to do so, the landlord shall give the tenant at least two days' written notice of his or her intent to enter and shall enter only at reasonable times. The notice must state the exact time and date or dates of entry or specify a period of time during that date or dates in which the entry will occur, in which case the notice must specify the earliest and latest possible times of entry. The notice must also specify the telephone number to which the tenant may communicate any objection or request to reschedule the entry. The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the landlord to enter the dwelling unit at a specified time where the landlord has given at least one day's notice of intent to enter to exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers or tenants. A landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with a tenant's enjoyment of the rented dwelling unit by excessively exhibiting the dwelling unit.
