Does Federal Way have a ‘good cause’ eviction law?

Yes.

Federal Way has a good cause eviction law that limits a residential landlord’s right to evict a tenant to certain enumerated grounds. Some causes, such as the landlord’s intent to move into the property, require 120 days’ notice (even though state law only requires 90 days’ notice).

Specific additional language is required in notices issued in Federal Way. Be sure to use our Federal Way-specific forms.
