From Firesteel WA:  Policy Matters, The Fair Tenant Screen Act Could Save Someone’s Life

http://firesteelwa.org/2015/03/policy-matters-the-fair-tenant-screening-act-could-save-someones-life/

The Fair Tenant Screening Act has passed the House of Representatives!  Our calls made a difference!

Four crucial bills are going through the WA State House of Representatives and Senate now that protect tenant rights.

These include:

1.  Fair Tenant Screening Act (SB 5123/HB 1257)

2.  The Truth in Evictions Reporting Act (SB 5376/HB 1460)

3.  Bill that prevents renter discrimination based on renter’s income sources (SB 5378/HB 1565)

4.  A 90 day Notice Bill for renters facing significant rent increases.  This avoids forced displacement. (SB 5377/HB 2051)
