Bill Information
Comment on Bill
Companion Bill
2023 Legislative Session

Summary

  • Removes the State Preemption on Rent Control (RCW 35.21.830) allowing local governments to enact local rent control.
  • Would allow every Local Government to create a different local rent control policy; that could mean more that 450 different local rent control policies across WA State.
  • There is no floor to what a city could impose under local rent control including denying any increase whatsoever to housing providers.
  • The desperate need for “Middle Housing” solutions shows that cities have not found solutions for housing, why should we trust them with local rent control?
