RENT SMART WEBINAR IN ENGLISH
Information for Domestic Violence Survivors
Renters who experience domestic violence (DV) may not know their rights when abuse happens in their rental. Who’s responsible for repairing any damage? Which occupants will be evicted, who gets to stay, and what happens next?
Join Solid Ground tenant counselors to learn:
- How to break a lease without liability after DV occurs.
- When it’s ok to change the locks under Washington state’s Residential Landlord-Tenant Act.
- Who’s responsible for fixing damage to a unit.
- General information on housing search and tenant screening.
- What to do if you have an eviction on your record.
