Bill > HB2452

This bill modifies how landlords must notify tenants of rent increases in manufactured/mobile home parks, specifically by changing the legal process for serving these notices from RCW 59.12.040 to RCW 59.20.150. It also clarifies that while landlords can generally increase rent by up to five percent annually after the first year, this limit does not apply to certain subsidized tenancies, such as those where rent is based on income or where assistance comes from portable vouchers. The bill also outlines specific exemptions that allow for rent increases beyond the five percent limit, requiring landlords to provide detailed supporting facts for these exemptions in their notices, and establishes tenant remedies and legal actions, including potential damages and attorney fees, if a landlord violates these rent increase regulations.
