          Ÿ Prohibits cities and counties from enacting ordinances that would disallow

SENATE  COMMITTEE                  ON      FINANCIAL          INSTITUTIONS,           ECONOMIC

    Staff: Kellee Gunn (786-7429)

    Background: Residential landlord-tenant relationships in Washington State are governed by
    the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (RLTA). The RLTA establishes rights and duties of both
    tenants and landlords, procedures for the parties to enforce their rights, and remedies for
    violations. The relationship between the owner of a mobile home park (landlord) and the
    owner of the mobile home (tenant) is governed under the Manufactured/Mobile Home
    Landlord-Tenant Act (MHLTA). The MHLTA similarly establishes rights and duties of both
    tenants and landlords, procedures for the parties to enforce their rights, and remedies for
    violations.

    Various federal and state laws further govern the screening and rental process for all
    landlords and tenants. Local governments may enforce other requirements related to the
    landlord-tenant relationship.
