Patty Kuderer (D-Bellevue), also expands legal access for\ntenants and standardizes the requirements for an eviction notice. The current\nrequirement notice for an eviction is three days. With many people living\npaycheck to paycheck, that provides scant time to recover from a significant\nunexpected expense such as a car repair or medical bill, and stay current with\nrent payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have\nheard definitively from experts, and from those directly impacted, that evictions\nare the leading cause of homelessness in Washington state,\u201d said Kuderer. \u201cWhen\nthe Senate formed the new Housing Stability &amp; Affordability Committee, we redirected\nour statewide approach on homelessness to include prevention. This legislation\nis a significant step in that direction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twenty-six\nstates and the District of Columbia have notice periods longer than three days.\nAmong those, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Tennessee, Vermont, and Wisconsin have\nimplemented a fourteen-day notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SB 5600\nwould also require uniform eviction notices written in plain language available\nto landlords for use that includes information on civil legal aid resources\navailable to tenants and where to find translated copies of the notices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe\neviction process can be complicated and overwhelming for anyone facing the\npossibility of homelessness,\u201d said Kuderer. \u201cSimplifying language is about more\nthan conveying information to tenants, it is about increasing accessibility to\na legal system in which they have every right to participate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Passage\ncomes thanks to hard-earned compromise from a broad coalition of support,\nincluding tenant advocates and property owners. Additional reforms to the\neviction process in the bill include the use of judicial discretion in cases\nover rent. requiring consideration of factors beyond the control of tenants in\nnonpayment, and allows landlords to recover some funds through the Department\nof Commerce\u2019s mitigation fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nSenate approved SB 5600 on a bipartisan vote of 31-15 and now moves to the\nHouse for consideration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taking action to interrupt the cycle of homelessness before it begins, the Washington state Senate today passed legislation that would require 14 days notice to evict a tenant.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Bill 5600, sponsored by Sen.
