FAQ
Rent Increases: RCW 59.18. 140 requires landlords to give tenants 60 Days' notice before increasing the rent. In a month-to-month rental, the landlord must give you 60 Days' written notice before each rent increase (except in certain subsidized rental units, the landlord must give you at least 30 days written notice).
Check Public Ownership Records Search the records for the address of the rental property to find out if the landlord is listed as the owner. If the names don't match, contact the legal owner and ask if she knows the person purporting to be the landlord.
The cost of registering a lease is generally paid by a tenant. Leases with a lease period of more than three years, including any option period, must be registered. This helps to protect the tenant's interests.
When there is no lease agreement (like in the case of weekly rentals), you can instead use the Alaska Notice to Vacate to inform the other party in advance that you wish to end the tenancy agreement and vacate the premises.
