Political Action Committee (PAC)

Committee

Housing providers have been targeted for blame as politicians failure to address our region’s affordable housing needs. From efforts to restrict your rights and access to information when screening tenants, to mandatory rental housing inspections, and attempts to implement rent control, your rights as a landlord in Washington State are under attack.

Our Political Action Committee exists to help elect responsible candidates who will work collaboratively with RHAWA and the rental industry when issues arise. Without pro-rental housing candidates in office, your rights as a landlord will be threatened with endless regulation.
