Seattle Eviction Moratorium Extended Through January 15, 2022

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan yet again extended both the Seattle residential and commercial eviction moratoriums which are now set to expire January 15, 2022.

Seattle residential tenants may only be evicted if actions by the tenant constitute an imminent threat to the health or safety of neighbors, the landlord, or to household members.

The commercial eviction moratorium applies to small businesses and nonprofits. Small businesses are defined as having fifty or fewer employees. The commercial moratorium and separate Seattle laws require repayment plans for small businesses and nonprofits.
