CITY OF TACOMA
CITIZENS’ INITIATIVE MEASURE NO. 1

Citizens’ Initiative Measure No. 1 concerns enacting rental requirements for landlords and rental rights for tenants. 

This measure would require landlords to comply with health and safety laws before raising rent or evicting a tenant; set limits on certain rental fees; require landlords provide two notices to increase rent and offer relocation assistance when the increase is 5% or more; create a defense against certain student/schoolyear evictions, evictions between November 1 and April 1, and evictions against servicemembers, seniors, families and others with protected status under the measure; and provide penalties and enforcement mechanisms.

Should this measure be enacted into law?
Yes . . . . . . . . . . .  [ ]
No . . . . . . . . . . . .  [ ]
