Seattle's Source of Income Protection
On September 19, 2016, new legislation went into effect that expands fair housing protections for renters who use alternative sources of income and subsidies to pay for housing costs. These protections also prohibit the use of preferred employer programs.
Renting in Seattle provides comprehensive information and resources on rental regulations in the City of Seattle as well as tips and best practices for successful renting for both renters and housing providers.
