DONATIONS - Political Action Committee (PAC) & Legal Defense Fund (LDF):

These are optional donations that support a number of key functions and benefits for landlords in Washington State. 2024 was a tough battle in terms of legislation. We couldn't have done it without the support of our members. One of the major bills we were able to fight in 2024 was Rent Control. This year, Rent Control will be brought back into the legislative session, so it's imperative that we make every attempt to fight Rent Control again in 2025! Your donations go to help in fighting bad legislation that has an impact on our industry!

HB 2114 - Rent Stabilization Bill, AKA Rent Control Bill was killed in the Senate Committee (2024). This bill had:
- 7% Cap on Rent increases
- 1.5% cap on Late Fees
- Landlords being sued under the Consumer Protection Act
- and more
