Compliance & Practical Guidelines

Event Details

As Spokane's new Cooling Ordinance reshapes rental housing requirements, housing providers need to understand both the legal obligations and the practical steps needed to comply. In this one-hour Zoom class, an experienced landlord-tenant attorney and a licensed electrician will explain who is covered, key compliance deadlines, available exemptions, enforcement risks, and how the ordinance interacts with Washington's new portable cooling device law. You'll also learn practical, cost-effective approaches to evaluating existing electrical systems, selecting appropriate cooling solutions, avoiding common installation mistakes, and planning ahead to meet future requirements. Bring your questions for a live Q&A designed to help you protect your investment while keeping your properties compliant.
