I live in WA state and I signed a two year rental lease. I know in the state of WA any lease that is longer then a year has to be notarized. My lease is not notarized and I want to get it out of it after a year. Is this something I'm going to have to get an attorney for as I can't believe my landlord would be willing to give me back my deposit and my last month's rent.

Highly doubtful that a small claims judge would see it your way. Failure to notarize does not invalidate a signed lease. While failure to notarize does not conform with the law, you still have a written contract which is most probably valid under State of Washington statutes.

it's a standard contract. Being Notarized not necessary
