Washington State Rent Control Public Hearing: Tues 1/30 @ 8 am – in Olympia

Notice from the Manufactured Housing Association of Washington:

SB 6400, concerning local authority to address
affordable housing needs through regulation of rent and associated charges, is
scheduled for a public hearing on Tuesday, January 30 at 8:00
a.m. in the Senate Financial Institutions & Insurance Committee in the JA Cherberg Building Room
3.  

You are invited to testify in Olympia regarding SB 6400.

The companion HB
2583 is scheduled for Executive Session (vote out of committee) in
the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, February 1 at 1:30
p.m. in the John L. O’Brien Building Room A.  There is no need
for anyone to attend this hearing, but you are encouraged to contact members of this
committee asking them to “VOTE
NO on HB 2583.”

These bills allow
local cities and counties to allow rent control on rented/leased
residential properties (single family homes, apartments and manufactured
housing communities).  It repeals the 1981 state preemption against rent
control and allows cities to regulate your rents.

You are also encouraged to contact your Senate Members and the members
of the Senate Financial Institutions & Insurance Committee in OPPOSITION of
SB 6400.

And contact your 2 House Members and the members of the House
Judiciary Committee in OPPOSITION
of HB 2583.
