New legislation seeks to protect renters from no-cause evictions in Washington

SPOKANE, Wash. Lawmakers heard testimony today over House Bill 12-36, a new piece of legislation granting more protection to renters.
Under current Washington rental laws, a landlord can tell a renter to get out without giving them reason why they’re getting evicted. Once this notice is delivered, tenants have only 20 days to find new housing.
“A 20 day no-cause notice means that you can pay your rent on time every month and obey all the rules; but, if you’re in a month-to-month tenancy, your landlord can serve a no-cause notice, and you have to be out in 20 days. It’s very oppressive, and tenants live under that cloud,” said Terri Anderson, the Spokane Director of the Tenants Union of Washington.

A tsunami of evictions will hit Seattle in the coming year without bold action by the Seattle City Council. Tens of thousands of evictions, disproportionately in communities of color, will likely overwhelm the courts, shelters, and streets, as people lose their homes. This would be a human catastrophe on a scale that the city hasn’t seen in a century, on top of the unprecedented economic costs that our city would be forced to bear for shelters, emergency housing/food, healthcare emergencies, and public safety crises.
The Spokane Regional Health District has received about $8 million in CARES funding distributed by the county. A
s COVID-19 made its first wave across the country, and schools and businesses shut down, Congress passed the CARES Act this spring in an effort to dampen the economic fallout of the pandemic. Spokane County received about $91 million from the $2.2 trillion stimulus bill, signed by President Donald Trump on March 27. That meant that three Spokane County commissioners Republicans Al French, Josh Kerns and Mary Kuney got to decide how to dole out money to affected businesses, government agencies and nonprofits. The money has to be spent by the end of this year.
