Gov. Inslee extends eviction moratorium 'bridge' period through end of October
Gov. Jay Inslee announced Thursday that he is extending an eviction moratorium “bridge” period another 30 days.
The bridge period was originally scheduled to expire on Sept. 30, and will now end on Oct. 30 instead.
A more broad statewide eviction moratorium ended on Aug. 1, making it so that tenants were required to resume paying rent. Through the end of October, landlords will still be permitted to evict tenants only after offering a “reasonable repayment plan” if the tenant has not negotiated a reduced rate, and the tenant is not actively seeking financial assistance.
Inslee ultimately made the decision to issue the extension “to make sure local governments have an opportunity to issue the rental relief available to citizens.”
