Recent Q&As in Washington (Landlord Tenant)

Is it legal for a new landlord to raise rent 40% over 3 years and what can I do about it | Aug 12, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Washington Okay so I’ve been living in the same building for the last 6 years. The previous owners sold it 3 year ago. I just realized today that rent went up 40% is the span of 3 years from $1,250 to $1,750 (My partner pays the rent so I never know what it is until I asked). So I did some digging to find out how much it can legally go up by and that’s 7%-9% a year (in Washington state). Landlord said it was to reach the renters quota. I’m not sure what actions I can take after figuring this out. To street neighbors and myself, she’s referred as the slumlord. Also for more context. I’m the last one still here after she came in. The original rent was $1,250. So watching her renovate the other 5 units (townhouse/duplex) with cheap materials and setting the others rent to $1,650 and went up to what it’s at now for all units. It doesn’t affect them as much. But ours seems ridiculous. I can tell she finds cheap people to do work around the property from maintenance to yard work that’s rarely done. So I feel like when she took over, it was more of a money grab. She has also threatened to tow cars on street parking. So my question is can I and how can I take action against this. I’ll put an update as I get answers 1. We are currently unable to move because of location…
My landlord is charging me for pest control for squirrels and I think it is unfair | Aug 10, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Seattle Washington I live in an apartment on the third floor. I've been here for about a year and a half. A few months ago I started hearing noises in my attic. I reported it to my landlord. They sent someone out and said it was squirrels. They set some traps and patched up a small hole they found. Now I just got my new lease renewal and there's an extra charge on my bill for "pest control services" specifically for the squirrels. It's like $300. I think this is totally unfair. I didn't cause the squirrels. It's an old building. The hole was in the attic. Is this something they can charge me for? I thought the landlord was responsible for pest control. What are my options here? Should I try to fight it or do I have to pay?
[WA – Kirkland] Property manager said I could decide by August 8, but now says I missed a 20-day nonrenewal deadline and is billing a full month | Aug 4, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
I rent an apartment in Kirkland, Washington. My current fixed-term lease runs from August 9, 2025 through August 8, 2026. The lease contains a clause stating that I must give written notice of nonrenewal at least 20 days before the lease expires. It also states that otherwise the lease automatically renews for another term of up to 12 months. However, the property management company sent me an official renewal email on April 22 stating: My lease ends on August 8, 2026; I could provide my renewal decision by August 8, 2026; and Only if I did not select an option by August 8 would the lease convert to a 12-month holding-over lease. I contacted management in April to ask whether the renewal rate could be reviewed. On April 25, management told me in writing that they could not fairly review the rate until the final 30–45 days of my lease and that I should wait until then. The following then occurred: On July 11, management confirmed in writing that I had not been automatically enrolled in a new lease and resent the renewal options. On July 14, management stated that holdover would begin on August 9 and confirmed that my renewal options would remain available while the rate review was pending. On July 16, the renewal department denied the rate adjustment and, for the first time in the communications I received, expressly reminded me that a written 20-day notice to vacate was required. Because the lease ends August 8, the…
Apartmemt tenancy question | Jul 28, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Washington state Situation: i am leasing a 3 bedroom apartment with a couple and thier daughter. Recently the mother was arrested for felony domestic violence and ordered by the court to not be with a distance of her husband for 2 years. We cant afford the place without her. Is there any court cases or precedents/advice anyone knows of to get a lease terminated without an eviction on record for such a wierd circumstance outside of my hands? I dont want a 7 year penalized record for something i had nothing to do with.
Homeowner living in 4 unit property, washington DC | Jul 27, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Washington D.C. So, I am purchasing a 4 unit and moving into one of the units. It currently has rent control on it, and I can apply for a small landlord exemption which I will be doing. currently 2 units are vacant, and 2 are occupied. If I am interpreting this correctly, there is an exemption to rent control, found in D.C. Official Code § 42–3502.05 Section A, subsection 1 " rent is federally or District-subsidized" So currently, the property has rent control with max of 1255. to my understanding, a HCVP ( section 8 tenant) would pay more, and thus I would be able to be paid more if I allowed a voucher tenant to occupy the unit? am I interpreting the legalese correctly? Source: https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/code/sections/42-3502.05 thank you for your time
