New Renter’s Handbook

Renter's Handbook coverRenting in Seattle, a program within SDCI, published the Renter’s Handbook. The handbook is a completely revised version of the landlord/tenant summary, required by rental agreement regulations in the City. Designed as a companion to the Renting in Seattle website, the Renter’s Handbook covers the rental cycle from finding a home to moving out. It provides information about the rights and obligations in the rental relationship, as well as some practical tips to enhance it. Due to COVID-19 and City office closures, printed copies are not currently available for distribution until we reopen or until we have a safe, viable alternative. The pdf version online is printer-friendly, and for maximum economy can be printed two pages per sheet, double-sided in black and white.
