Tacoma Landlord Fairness Code Resources Released

Posted By: Ryan Makinster Advocacy News,

The City of Tacoma Landlord Fairness Code Initiative, formerly referred to as Measure 1, went into affect on December 8. The city recently added or updated a number of resources on their site including the required forms.

In addition to participating in city and housing provider led meetings regarding implementation of the code, WMFHA Director of Government Affairs Ryan Makinster and Career Development Manager Jason Loughridge also held an informational webinar for members that do business in Tacoma. The webinar is intended to give a high level overview of the new requirements of the Tacoma Landlord Fairness Code Initiative, but much is still not known about the implementation and enforcement of the new code.  Tacoma housing providers should discuss with their legal counsel the best practices to comply with the new law.
