Concerning rental property disclosures of flooding history and flood risk.
Effective date 6/11/2026.
Summary
The bill adds new disclosure requirements so landlords must tell tenants if a rental is in a flood‑hazard area, that landlord insurance doesn’t cover personal belongings, and where to get county flood information. It also updates existing habitability rules, bans utility shut‑offs during heat alerts, and mandates fire‑safety notices. The changes apply to all rental units in Washington, aiming to give renters clearer information and stronger basic protections.
