If you are in a fixed term tenancy the rent can only be increased during the fixed term if the amount of the increase, or the method of calculating the rent increase, is set out in the tenancy agreement.
Because rent control is illegal in Washington State (RCW 35.21. 830) landlords can raise the rent as much as they want as long as they comply with the appropriate notice period and have not issued the notice to discriminate or retaliate against the tenant.
During the moratorium, landlords in Washington were not allowed to raise the rent. But now that the moratorium has ended, renters may have gotten rent increase notices starting July 1, 2021.
Finally, if you do decide to increase your rent at the time of lease renewal, you'll need to send your tenants a rent increase notice, which both parties must agree to and sign. The rent increase notice should be sent before the lease renewal offer in case the tenant decides not to accept the increase in rent.
Your landlord can increase your rent if you sign a new tenancy agreement when your fixed term ends. Your new rent must be included in your new agreement or your landlord needs to tell you about the new rent amount before you sign the agreement. If they just tell you the new amount also ask for it in writing.
