Easy to find answers to the many questions I had regarding my rights as a tenant as well as refund for my deposit.
tracy burgess
I called to express my concern that under present regulations, why would anyone want to be a landlord and to alert to the fact that most small landlords are selling because the rules are too complicated for an average retired person to navigate. How will more units be created if we are too afraid? The person didn't even listen and just hung up on me. They should remember what government housing was like because that is all that will be left - that and huge property management companies that are the usual culprits, not us little folk providing good, clean, under market homes for people. Not me, not anymore and EVERY landlord I know is selling. Tired of being called names and insulted for providing a much needed service for very little pay. So what will people rent then? Why do these group seem to think that people like me should provide housing at my expense? CLEARLY, they are not interested in knowing the facts about the future. The rental market is being destroyed!!

I finally got a hold of a live representative after calling non stop for over thirty days; I spoke with someone on 9/24/21 (relieved may I add) however this particular representative was unprofessional. I initially thought I dialed the wrong number because she answered the phone coughing saying “hello” as if we knew one another, never mentioned her name or any standard Tenants Union greeting. I informed her I was having landlord/tenant issues and proceeded to explain what I was dealing with; besides her initial unprofessional attitude she became sarcastic, pushy, and was trying to rush me off the phone as if I was a burden. She started asking for my personal information (which I had no problem sharing) and she found a way to create a problem about that as well, interrupting me in the middle of talking, she kept asking me to repeat my responses, and would periodically mention how many people she had in the queue, she asked for my landlord information than told me she’ll look into my complaint, contact the number I’d given her and she’d contact me next day (9/24/21) or latest that Monday (9/27/21) with information. It’s bad enough I have to deal with landlord/tenant issues as is but to call an agency that specializes in assisting tenants and their unprofessional and rude for no reason just blows my mind, I thought assisting tenants with their complaints/rights were in the job description. It is now 10/7/21 and still no follow up from the tenant union representative.

No one answers and my question is. Can I break my lease due to insufficient heat source and electrical problems? Landlord says they are going to fix the electrical for over a year now. The only thing they fixed is there Courtyard painted it a new fence then their porch and patio and put sprinklers all throughout the yard and their tenants units what nothing.

Wow! Someone was actually able to leave a message? I didn't receive that option at all.
Did you get a summary of the charges within 20 days of the end of the lease agreement? If not they didn’t fulfill their legal obligation.
What did you find out about this - in the same position now.
Unfortunately, the TU aren't lawyers. They can only refer you to lawyers. You should go to their Rainer office in person and ask about this.
As far as I know, you can become a member without donating, if you do not have the funds to do so at this time.
No more than 10% with 30 days nice, anything more than that requires 90 notice.
U know that sounds like a health inspection problem maybe mold . Are u a senior ? Contact your doctor for inspection . Your rent raise that's TERRIBLE . Tenant union can't help me and alot of other people don't know why these are big nite mare problems sometimes 211 can get u started but that's a fnnnn mess I'm still trying to fight mine. This is making me sick.
I dont believe so i believe u'd not pay last months rent when you move like if u were at end of your lease it would breach contract if landlord doesn't hold up to their end or you could take them to court.
Not an answer just a question. What or who is KNT? We need to stay our eviction and are going to the NWJP on Monday, March 18th to hopefully get a chance to put our case in front of a judge.
You would have to pysically call the Tennant's union. But im pretty sure your landlord cannot do that. Especially if you have children with disabilities. Call the tennants union if that doesn't help. Pleasr call 211 or your low-income provider. I also will be checking into this. And i will post whatever info i can to help.! Good luck and remember if you have to push back be strong & keep ur head up.
No, absolutely not. Look up the Washington State landlord tenant act and go to the TU office or call them. They absolutely cannot charge you to maintain/ update the structure. They can only charge you for damages after assessing them after the walkthrough.
Landlord has every right.
Contact your landlord.
I am not qualified to answer that question. You'll have to contact Tenants Association directly.
try to work with the bank. Banks don't want residential real estate, they want the interest residential real estate loans generate. Prove you're a good customer prove you're a good tenant you may be able to buy the house.
I am not qualified to answer that question. You will have to contact Tenants Association directly.
Read your lease agreement.
You should call the tenants union
You should ask the tenants union about that, but I'm pretty sure the housing authority can't do that.
I am not qualified to answer that question. Suggest you contact them directly. I believe they have interpreters there.
You better be quicker than that. Your landlord pulled a fast one on you.
Don't do it. Seek/get legal representation first
He has to get a professional carpet cleaner in there and/or change the carpet. If not, the you'll have to contact the TRU and this might require you to get legal representation
Technically yes. But at the discretion of the landlord, he/she/they can prorate it.
You'll have to contact Tenants Association directly. I'm not qualified to answer that question.
Depends on who has the proper notification. The landlord to enter or you to lock him/her/them out. You should call TRU to be sure.
Move and take your landlord to small claims court with proof, such as; pictures, copies of repeated written/texted/voicemail requests and the responses from the landlord, if any.
I went to tenant union for a assault that happened to me and manger KIM BARRETO said I assulted this man there's a video and she won't let me see I even have a case no DONT ever live in Pike place market. Is there a lawyer that can HELP I'm 69 yrs old AND I need HELP this manger KIM BARRETO is a LIAR please write me CORALIE JOHNSON 80 STEWART St 98101
You will have to direct your question to them.
I cannot answer your question. You should contact Tenants Union directly.
Suggest you contact the Tenants Union directly; they are the experts. I could only guess.
They should have provided a statement of charges or what ur deposit went to, along with a refund of whatever is remaining within 14 days
I would reference this statute, there is a procedure involved but you’re friend should be able to safely leave: RCW 59.18.575 Victim protection- Notice to Landlord- Termination of Rental agreement procedures Linked here: https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=59.18.575
If u sign a year lease and are moving before your lease is up even with a 30 day notice u are in a contract you are locked in for a year no matter what unless in your rental agreement it states its ok to break the year contract with a 30 day notice or your landlord says he's ok with breaking the lease early (get that in writing if they agree verbally) other than that by law you have to pay, your in a binding contract if you put your signature on that rental agreement.
They should go to the TU directly, specifically one of the organizers. Also, how are they being required to prepare?
The law says the landlord must return the deposit and any explanation about the amount within 21 days from when you move. The landlord was also required to do a walk through with you to itemize damages. If they did not do that then they are required to return the entire damage deposit to you. You should file in small claims court to get the remaining $700.00.
CALL DIRECTLY TO TENNANTS UNION. Or call 211 That shouldnt be legal. But it is in the landlords name. And they can cut off the lights. I would not give them anymore $$. Im very disappointed on how some of these landlords are taking advantage of renters. Knowing how our economy is.. Good luck. And im gonna do some digging on our rights!!
3 day pay or vacate is for rent only, no late fees or any other monetary issue other than rent. If you pay within 3 days no further action can be taken to evict on non-payment of rent until the following month. If you cannot pay within three days make an offer to pay as quickly as possible and negotiate staying. The landlord does not have to accept payment after the three days and can initiate eviction action. The sheriff does not get involved until a judge issues the writ of restitution.
That is totally a RED flag!! Please call the tenants union or call the agent directly. And hand her/him the copy/original. We as renters/owners have more rights than we know! Good luck!
The have to legal provide an itemized list with 21 days or they cannot charge.
Thanks for nothing.
No you are only to obligated to pay the amount you agreed to pay at the time you signed the lease. They have actually 30days from when the first lease you have signed is up!!! Even If you did NOT sign a lease.
Hello Misty, please call the TU asap. The hotline can provide direct and proper assistance but, in short an assault is an assault. Your mother should press charges against this neighbor. Which city do you live in? Also, who runs the LI facility your mom lives in?
If you haven't filed what do you have to serve? You have to get the papers in order to serve someone with them.
It depends. If you contacted your city, county or other entity to complain about leaky faucets, insects, broken step, etc, asking you to leave is then considered Retaliatory Action. Or if they gave you the note with only 19 days left in the month they can't evict you, the law is 20 days before the end of the month. If you haven't complained to a government entity then yes, they can ask you to leave with a 20 day notice. You also can give a 20 day notice, if you are out of your lease or on a month to month you can give them a 20 day notice. For the notice it must be posted either on the 10th of the month (in a 30 day month) or on the 11th of the month (in a 31 day month). It's tough to find an attorney to act on behalf of tenants, but if you offer to pay them for a letter in response to a Retaliatory Action they might do it, or go to a legal clinic. Landlords never listened to me, I had to have an attorney respond.
The should be doing a HUD displacement for you
No but usually there is a clause in the lease that guests who are there over 2weeks are then consider living in that unit and must fill out a rental application
