Renters urged to get help now before eviction moratoriums expire
Pandemic-related eviction moratoriums are set to run out in Washington and several individual cities at the end of June, and many predict tens of thousands of people will be kicked out of their rentals.
Olivia Mansker-Stoker, a tenant counselor with Seattle’s Solid Ground, tells KIRO Radio those at risk should document all communication with their landlord, then seek out free legal help and financial assistance available through many counties and private nonprofits. Renters should start seeking help as soon as possible.
“If you have a timeline like that, then you’ll have a better grasp of the order of events and it’ll be easier to communicate what exactly situation is to an attorney,” Mansker-Stoker said.
Solid Ground is hosting a free, tenants’ rights webinar on Thursday, June 3.
