Seattle rental regulations at a glance
Seattle has some of the strongest tenant protections in the US. The city's First-in-Time rule requires landlords to screen applicants in the order received and offer to the first qualified applicant. The Just Cause Eviction Ordinance limits grounds for termination, and Washington's Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (RCW 59.18) governs deposits, repairs, and notice periods. Seattle also limits move-in fees and requires landlords to offer payment plans.
