Navigate Tacoma Rental Laws
Washington Residential Landlord-Tenant Act
All Tacoma rentals follow RCW 59.18. RentMouse ensures your leases and notices are fully compliant with the latest state regulations.
Just Cause Eviction (HB 1236)
Washington requires a "just cause" to end a month-to-month tenancy. You must provide a specific, valid reason from the 16 allowed causes.
Security Deposit Returns (21 Days)
You must return the deposit or a full statement of deductions within 21 days of lease termination. RentMouse automates this deadline.
14-Day Notice to Pay or Vacate
For non-payment of rent, you must serve a compliant 14-day notice. Our system generates this form with all required legal language.
Rent Increase Notices (60 Days)
You generally must provide 60 days written notice for any rent increase in Washington. RentMouse tracks these timelines for you.
Written Move-In Checklists
To collect a deposit, you MUST have a written move-in checklist signed by the tenant. RentMouse provides digital checklists to satisfy this requirement.
