DONATIONS - Political Action Committee (PAC) & Legal Defense Fund (LDF):

These are optional donations that support a number of key functions and benefits for landlords in Washington State. 2024 was a tough battle in terms of legislation. We couldn't have done it without the support of our members. One of the major bills we were able to fight in 2024 was Rent Control. This year, Rent Control will be brought back into the legislative session, so it's imperative that we make every attempt to fight Rent Control again in 2025! Your donations go to help in fighting bad legislation that has an impact on our industry!

HB 2114 - Rent Stabilization Bill, AKA Rent Control Bill was killed in the Senate Committee (2024). This bill had:
- 7% Cap on Rent increases
- 1.5% cap on Late Fees
- Landlords being sued under the Consumer Protection Act
- and more

Speaker Topic: The Burdens and Benefits of Accounts Receivable – A Journey from Not Being Owed Money to Not Being Owed Money. 
 
Unpaid rent can be a huge drain on profitability and too many landlords are ignoring ways of leveraging that past debt back into their income. Banks regularly sue for less than $2,000 but smaller landlords often let $20,000 judgments sit idle. We want to prevent those huge accounts receivable from ever happening and fix the ones that already did. In the presentation, we will explore practical and legal strategies to help landlords maximize their percent of recovered rent.  We will primarily focus on:
 
    • Setting the stage for getting paid—from first meeting to final garnishment check.
    • Breaking up: When and how to terminate bad tenants.
    • Eviction judgment do’s and don’ts.
    • Understanding the value of a judgment against a former tenant.
    • Attorney enforcement vs. collection agency: Key differences.
    • When to collect—and when not to collect—on a judgment.
    • How garnishments work.
    • Frequently asked questions*
    • Q&A session at the end.

*To make this session as useful as possible, please email Jonathan any questions you’d like addressed—even if it’s just something you’ve always wondered about tenant debt or the collection process. During the presentation, Jonathan will include common questions in the FAQ section or respond directly by email.
