Landlord and Tenant Resources

There are many resources available to help tenants and landlords resolve conflicts.

Landlord Mitigation Program

Washington state’s Landlord Mitigation Law provides landlords with an incentive and added security to work with tenants receiving rental assistance. The program offers up to $1,000 to the landlord in reimbursement for some potentially required move-in upgrades, up to fourteen days’ rent loss, and up to $5,000 in qualifying damages caused by a tenant during tenancy.

Contact the Washington Department of Commerce for more information on this program.
