As of June 7th Washington State tenants are provided greater transparency now that landlords are required to disclose in writing both the reason why a tenant is denied housing and what criteria they will use in their rental decision. These new laws are a hard fought victory for the TU, its members, tenant leaders, and allies like the Washington Low Income Housing Alliance, and others.
Please join our ally organization Puget Sound Sage in the release of their new report "Transit Oriented Development that is Healthy, Green & Just."
TU members are sharing their stories with elected officials, the media and each other to win a strong Rental Housing Inspection Program in the City of Seattle. See the recent news coverage here, and find out how to share your story!
The National Housing Law Project is putting on a web-based series of trainings for tenants with Section 8, HUD-assisted or Low Income Public Housing subsidies!
