Landlords and Tenants Join Forces to Sue City Over Mandatory Rental Inspections
Landlords and tenants in Seattle have joined in a class action lawsuit against the city’s ordinance requiring inspection of units. Tenants object to the inspections on invasion of privacy grounds, while landlords object to the City’s fines for inspection delays. The lawsuit wants the city to obtain either tenant consent or a warrant.
