AI Summary

This bill modifies how landlords in Washington state must notify tenants of rent increases, specifically for manufactured and mobile home lot rentals. It changes the legal reference for how these notices must be served from RCW 59.12.040 to RCW 59.20.150, ensuring that rent increase notices are delivered according to the procedures outlined in the manufactured/mobile home landlord-tenant act. The bill also clarifies that the standard rent increase limit of five percent every twelve months, as defined in RCW 59.20.370, applies unless specific exemptions are met, and that landlords must provide detailed information about any claimed exemptions in their notices. These changes aim to provide greater clarity and protection for tenants regarding rent adjustments.
