Title 59 - Landlord and Tenant
Chapter 59.24 - Rental Security Deposit Guarantee Program.
59.24.010 Legislative findings.
Universal Citation: WA Rev Code § 59.24.010 (2020)
RCW 59.24.010 Legislative findings.
The legislature finds that one of the most difficult problems that temporarily homeless persons or families face in seeking permanent housing is the necessity of paying a security deposit in addition to paying the first month's rent. The security deposit requirement is often impossible for the temporarily homeless person or family to meet because their savings are depleted due, for example, to purchasing temporary shelter in a motel when space at an emergency shelter was not available. A program to guarantee the security deposit for the temporarily homeless person or family will help the poor in this state achieve adequate permanent shelter.
