Residential Rental Forms

USAGE & COPYRIGHT

RHAWA forms are copyrighted and are for member use only. Unauthorized use, publication or distribution is strictly prohibited. Formal legal advice and review is recommended prior to selection and use of any provided form. RHAWA does not represent your selection or execution of any form as appropriate for your specific circumstances. Rental owners / managers and tenants are each advised to seek independent legal advice on matters arising from use of any form. No representation is made as to the sufficiency or tax consequences from use of any form.

TRANSLATIONS

Private organizations such as RHAWA are not required to provide translated materials. We operate on a very limited budget and providing translations of our materials is just not possible. To be fair, if we translate for one language, we must also translate for all “primary languages” in the state (Spanish, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, and Chinese). As such, we only provide information and services in English. Members (as well as their residents and vendors) may wish to use a translation service or software application to translate on their own. See https://www.atg.wa.gov/landlord-tenant for limited state-provided resources.
