SPOKANE, Wash. A low-income housing provider based in North Idaho has agreed to pay $50,000 after evidence revealed that the company illegally threated Spokane County tenants with eviction in April 2020.

It specifically prohibits landlords from threatening to evict tenants for unpaid rent and specifies that they have to enter into repayment plans with tenants.
