Government Updates

During the COVID-19 crisis RHAWA has actively worked with cities, counties, and the Governor and Legislature to implement and understand emergency rental housing measures being put in to place for the rental housing industry, including pushing for direct financial support for renters and housing providers to ensure that homes remain open.

Inslee extends eviction moratorium, public utilities proclamation on March 18, 2021.

  • The state eviction moratorium is extended to June 30, 2021.  
  • Clarifies that among the existing permissible reasons for seeking to evict a tenant is a tenant’s behavior that can be imminent be hazardous to safety of others on the premises. 
  • Requires that any 60-day notice to vacate if an owner intends to occupy or sell the premises must be in the form of an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury. 
  • Clarifies that the order is not intended to permit unauthorized or illegal occupants into a dwelling who are not listed on the lease to remain or hold over unless the landlord owner, or property manager has accepted partial or full payment of rent, including payment in the form of labor. 
  • Nothing in this order precludes a landlord, property owner, or property manager from engaging in customary and routine communications with residents of a dwelling or parcel of land occupied as a dwelling. “Customary and routine” means communication practices that were in place prior to the issuance of Proclamation 20-19 on March 18, 2020, but only to the extent that those communications reasonably notify a resident of upcoming rent that is due; provide notice of community events, news, or updates; document a lease violation without threatening eviction; or are otherwise consistent with this order. It is permissible for landlords, property owners and property managers to provide information to residents regarding financial resources, and to provide residents with information on how to engage with them in discussions regarding reasonable repayment plans as described in this order. 
  • Governor says he will continue to work with stakeholders over the next 30 days to consider additional amendments to the moratorium to ensure that the moratorium’s protections for non-payment of rent apply narrowly to those impacted by the COVID-19. 
  • For Manufactured Housing Communities under RCW 59.20 landlords are allowed to send advance notices of future rent increases, as long as the notice clearly provides that the rent increase will not go into effect until after the moratorium expires.
