New laws affecting renters in Washington State in 2023 Within 30 days after a tenant moves out, the landlord must either return the full security deposit or give the tenant a written statement documenting why they kept some or all of it.

Verbal threats, threats of physical violence, or actual physical contact are all examples of landlord harassment. Also, keep in mind that verbal threats can occur via face-to-face interaction, over the phone, or in writing.

In Washington, landlords cannot discriminate against tenants, engage in illegal eviction practices, enter a tenant's home without proper notice, shut off utilities as a form of retaliation, or fail to maintain property to code. They must also treat tenants with good faith and fair dealing in all rental transactions.

For example, California presumes that adverse action by a landlord is retaliatory if it occurs within 180 days after the tenant complains to a government authority, requests an inspection, or sues the landlord.
