Proposed Law Would Change 3-day Notices

There are many proposals in the works to change landlord-tenant law in Washington. One bill recently proposed would change the calculation on the three-day cure period for a notice to pay rent or vacate.

Under current law, the cure period for a notice to pay rent or vacate is three calendar days. Weekends and holidays count under current law.

The new law, if enacted, would change the three day period to exclude weekends and legal holidays.

There are numerous other proposals being debated in Olympia this year. Many new landlord-tenant laws have been enacted at the local level in the past few years.
