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.
An absence of a written rent agreement means the landlord can impose the increase of rent in adherence to the Rent Control Act 1948. A tenant can also shift to a new place anytime as there is no rent agreement that states what should be the process if the occupant wants to evacuate the property.
The Washington state eviction moratorium ended June 30, 2021. The bridge proclamation, where the Governor continued temporary protections for tenants with unpaid rent due, has also ended as of October 31, 2021. Evictions for not being able to pay rent are allowed again.
Starting July 1, 2021 landlords may evict for any of the reasons outlined in the new statewide just cause protections, except for nonpayment of rent.
The only way a landlord can evict a tenant in Washington is by receiving a court order. It is illegal for a landlord to try to force a tenant out of the rental unit through any other means, such as shutting off the utilities or changing the locks on the rental unit.
