With the passage of HB 1217, many renters and manufactured homeowners in Washington are now protected from rent gouging. Want to learn more? Join the Housing Alliance for two training sessions that will go deep into the ins and outs of the new law.
Lawyers will discuss who is covered, additional protections included in HB 1217, and how to enforce your new rights. These trainings are free and open to renters, manufactured homeowners, service providers, and advocates. Both sessions will have simultaneous interpretation in Spanish.
Please register in advance:
On the last day of session -- sine die -- the House and Senate both passed the final version of the rent stabilization bill! While not everything we wanted, this will provide predictability and protection from rent gouging for tenants all across Washington. Passage of this bill represents an important step forward, toward housing justice, and gives us a strong foundation to further improve tenant protections in the future.
Dear friends and colleagues,
With love, laughter, and a shared determination to carry her work forward, we remember our friend, teacher, and mentor Nancy Amidei, who died earlier this month at her home.
