State Issues

On July 24, the Washington governor issued Proclamation 20-19.3, which amends and extends earlier proclamations regarding evictions and related housing practices. Specifically, Proclamations 20-05 and 20-19 (previously covered here), and any subsequent orders, are amended and extended to temporarily prohibit residential evictions and impose related restrictions. Continuing through October 15, 2020, landlords, property owners, and property managers of residential dwellings and commercial rental properties in Washington may not, among other things, evict a tenant, assess certain fees, or increase the rate of rent or the amount of any deposit, except in certain limited circumstances.
