KXLY January 19, 2021 3:18 PM Kaitlin Knapp HAYDEN, Idaho — A Hayden property management company will pay $50,000 for violating Washington’s eviction moratorium. This case was brought to light in August 2020 by the Washington Attorney General’s Office and residents of Spokane properties. The lawsuits claims Whitewater Creek violated the moratorium and threatened to evict several tenants of low-income housing complexes in Spokane County, including Winter Heights Apartments in Spokane Valley. In e-mails obtained by the AG’s Office, staff members, at the direction of majority owner Maryann Prescott, verbally threatened at least four residents at properties it was responsible for. In a previous interview with a tenant, Skyla Morris told 4 News Now a payment plan was set up in order to pay back rent. Morris claimed the manager told her she was going to be evicted or face eviction when the courts opened back up. The apartment manager is also accused of telling Morris they would file harassment charges if she kept calling.
