A group of Republican state representatives sued Governor Jay Inslee in federal court, alleging that his “Stay Home” orders are unconstitutional.
The lawsuit, MacEwen v. Inslee, argues that the “Stay Home” orders infringe upon the First Amendment rights of free exercise of religion and peaceable assembly and the Fifth Amendment right to not be deprived of liberty and property without due process of law, along with rights under the Washington State Constitution.

Unfortunately, due to Governor Inslee's proclamation on the eviction ban expansion, there is nothing we can do to fight it. All the courts are closed and bringing on a lawsuit would be very expensive. All we can do is follow the Governor's demands. As landlords, all you can do is work with your tenants by doing a payment plan in writing and finding out what they can afford to pay. Please note that your tenants are still responsible for rent, they just cannot get evicted for non-payment of rent at this point in time.
We also encourage landlords to sign up through the Landlord Mitigation Fund. This is a program through the Washington State Department of Commerce, which provides financial assistance to landlords.
