Washington State’s Rent Stabilization Bill

(Text from the May 13 "Renting in Seattle Landlord Update" from Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections)

On May 7 Governor Ferguson signed HB 1217 [ https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary/?BillNumber=1217&Initiative=false&Year=2025&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ], the Washington state rent stabilization bill, into law with immediate effect. Here is an overview:


* No rent increases during the first 12 months of tenancy
* Maximum rent increase of 7% plus the Consumer Price Index (CPI), up to a maximum of 10%
* Prohibits charging more than a 5% difference in rent for a month-to-month rental agreement versus a lease.
* Requires 90 days’ notice for all rent increases
* Service required by personal delivery or, failing that, post on the property and first-class mail
* Requires specific language for a rent increase notice
* Authorizes a tenant or the Attorney General’s office to bring a court action for enforced compliance
* Civil penalties up to $7,500 for each violation plus attorney’s fees and mandatory damages to the tenant
* Authorizes a tenant who is issued a non-compliant rent increase to break their rental agreement with 20 days’ notice

Exemptions include:


* Newly constructed properties 12 years old or less
* Public housing authorities and non-profit housing authorities where maximum rents are regulated by other laws
* The following owner-occupied properties provided ownership is _not_ a corporation, an LLC where an owner is a corporation or a real estate investment trust.
* Tenancies where the tenant shares a bathroom or kitchen with the owner
* Tenancies in a single-family property where the owner rents no more than two units or bedrooms including ADUs/DADUs
* Tenancies in a duplex, triplex or fourplex where the owner occupies one of the units

It’s important to remember that Seattle still requires 180 days’ notice for any housing cost increase and increases of 10% or more in any 12-month period require service of an Economic Displacement Relocation Assistance (EDRA) notice [ https://www.seattle.gov/documents/Departments/RentingInSeattle/Renting_in_Seattle_EDRA_forms/EDRA_Notice%20_%20English.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]. The EDRA notice informs income-eligible tenants about relocation assistance they may be entitled to if they move pursuant to a 10% or more increase. Service of an EDRA notice requires hand-delivery or mailed by both certified mail with return receipt requested and by regular US mail. Copies must be provided to each adult member of the household.
