Tacoma Measure 1 Informational Session

The recent passing of the Measure 1 initiative in Tacoma creates new rules of engagement for those that own or manage properties in Tacoma.

These are some of the changes that have been enacted and will go into place at midnight on December 8:

• Under the measure, landlords would have to give two notices to tenants before raising rent and at least six months notice of pending increases.
• At any time after a 180-day notice of a rent increase of 5% or more, a tenant can request relocation assistance equal to up to three months of rent, depending on the amount of the increase. Landlords must provide relocation assistance within 30 days of receiving the request. 
• The measure would also prohibit landlords from evicting people during the winter, or during the school year if a tenant is a student. 

This informational session will help breakdown how this affects our members in Tacoma. There is no cost to attend.

You will receive a zoom link once you have registered.
