Dear WLA Members,
For your general information, please see the article from the Washington State Standard, titled, Landlords Fined for First Time Under WA’s New Law Capping Rent Increases.
The fines are due to the passage of the rent control legislation, HB 1217, which took effect on the day Governor Ferguson signed the bill into law on May 7, 2025.
You can view the article here.
Thank you,
Chester Baldwin, Attorney at Law
