CHHS Meeting Materials Page 9 June 9, 2021 Metropolitan King County Council Community, Health and Housing Services Committee STAFF REPORT Agenda Item: 8 Name: April Sanders Proposed No.: 2021-0131 Date: June 9, 2021 SUBJECT Proposed Ordinance 2021-0131 would establish just cause provisions and additional protections for tenants under both month-to-month tenancies and fixed-term leases in unincorporated King County. SUMMARY The Washington Residential Landlord-Tenant Act governs aspects of most residential landlord/tenant relationships and includes protections for both tenants and landlords. Proposed Ordinance 2021-0131 would expand protections for unincorporated area residential tenants through the establishment of just cause provisions and additional tenant protections. The proposed just cause provisions would require that owners have a “just” reason for pursuing an eviction, terminating a tenancy, or failing to renew a fixed-term lease. These just causes include a tenant's failure to comply with a pay or vacate notice, a landlord's decision to sell the property, and certain criminal activity. Additionally, the Proposed Ordinance would enact additional tenant protections, including capping move in fees and security deposits at one month's rent, capping late fees to 1% of monthly rent, requiring additional notice for rent increases greater than 3%, among others described in the analysis section of this staff report.
