Washington's Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (RCW 59.18) is one of the most detailed in the country. Recent legislative changes have significantly strengthened tenant protections, including just-cause eviction requirements and limits on move-in fees. Seattle adds further protections with its own tenant ordinances. A lease that doesn't account for these rules can expose landlords to liability.
Washington does not impose a statutory cap on security deposits, but landlords must return deposits within 21 days of lease termination and provide a full accounting of deductions. The state now limits total move-in costs and allows tenants to pay deposits in installments. Washington requires landlords to provide a written checklist of the unit's condition at move-in. Just-cause eviction applies statewide, meaning landlords need a legally recognized reason to end a tenancy.
SignAI generates your Washington lease with every required provision — including RCW 59.18.280 deposit rules, move-in cost limitations, condition checklist, just-cause eviction compliance, and Washington-specific governing law clauses. Seattle compliance is included where applicable.
