Information resources for tenants and landlords following end of COVID-19 State of Emergency in Washington

As of May 1, 2023 (six months after the end of the public health emergency), landlords are no longer required to offer tenants a repayment plan for any unpaid rent accrued on or after May 1, 2023. Landlords are still required to offer tenants a repayment plan for any unpaid rent accrued between March 1, 2020, and April 30, 2023. See RCW 59.18.630 for more information.

The Eviction Resolution Pilot Program expires on July 1, 2023. After that date, landlord participation in the Eviction Resolution Pilot Program will no longer be a pre-requisite to filing court eviction proceedings for non-payment of rent. See RCW 59.18.660 for more information.

County-Specific Resources for Tenants and Landlords

Tenants and landlords interested in learning whether they may qualify for Eviction Rent Assistance for unpaid rent during or after COVID-19 should contact their local rent assistance provider. Additionally, SB 5160 requires that landlords and tenants first participate in their local court Eviction Resolution Program before the landlord can file an eviction lawsuit against a tenant for non-payment of rent.
