Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill on Monday that effectively ends landlords rights to refuse to renew a lease without cause.
HB 1236 builds on Washington s Residential Landlord Tenant Act, which sets duties and privileges endowed to landlords and tenants. Under state law, landlords may choose not to renew leases between six months and a year with 20 days notice and without cause.
HB 1236 extends that notice period to 90 days and limits evictions or refusal to renew tenancies to 16 different scenarios. They include failure to pay, the sale or demolition of the property by the owner, four violations of a subsidized housing agreement, intentional or knowing misrepresentation on a tenant application or a legitimate business reason on the landlord s part.
