Tenant Lawyers

Washington Law Protects Tenants. We Fight Back When Illegal Practices Occur.

Federal and Washington law provide significant protections to tenants. When landlords fail to follow the law, tenants have the right to take action.

Key tenant protections include:

  • Protection against housing discrimination under federal and state law, including accommodations for disabilities and service animals
  • Limits and notice requirements for rent increases under HB 1217 and RCW 59.18.700
  • Legal protections against wrongful eviction under RCW 59.18.650
  • Protection from landlord retaliation under RCW 59.18.240 and RCW 59.18.250
  • Rules governing security deposits, deductions, and return timelines under RCW 59.18.280
  • Additional regulations that govern the landlord-tenant relationship and habitability standards
