Understanding Seattle’s Rental Laws

Seattle’s rental laws are designed to promote a fair and equitable rental market. They balance tenants’ rights with landlords’ responsibilities, and they ensure that rental properties meet basic standards of safety and habitability.

One of the critical regulations that landlords must be aware of is the Seattle Fair Chance Housing Ordinance. This law prohibits landlords from denying tenancy or evicting tenants based on their criminal history, a crucial step towards more inclusive housing opportunities.

Seattle also has a unique Just Cause Eviction Ordinance, which means landlords can only evict tenants under specific conditions, such as non-payment of rent or other lease agreement violations. This regulation ensures tenants aren’t unjustly evicted and maintains housing stability in our city.

Furthermore, Seattle’s First in Time law requires landlords to accept the first qualified applicant for a rental property. This is intended to prevent discrimination and ensure equal housing opportunities for all.
