Tacoma faces
an unprecedented
housing crisis.
Landlords hiked rents by 43% in Pierce County over the last five years and are evicting our neighbors at the highest rate in the state. 52% of Tacoma tenants are officially “rent burdened,” paying over a third of their income to landlords. Yet tenant protections in Tacoma lag far behind cities across Washington. Tacoma needs a Tenant Bill of Rights. That’s why we’re asking voters to pass Initiative 2023-01, the Landlord Fairness Code, on November 7th.
Tacoma Needs the Landlord Fairness Code

Require six months notice for all rent increases
No school year evictions of children and educators
Cap excessive
and unfair fees
and deposits
Relocation
assistance for rent hikes over 5%
Ban deadly cold weather evictions
November - March
Ban rent hikes
when code
violations exist
