Will we see you today at 2pm for the City Council vote on the junk fees ban? The commission supports the bill, including the amendments that help renters with compensation (A&E) and we oppose the amendments that would allow landlords to charge pet rent and opt renters into their insurance (C&D)

The bill to ban rental junk fees will be voted on by City Council tomorrow, Tue. 8/11 at 2pm! The commission supports a ban on rental junk fees. We oppose allowing pet rent, even with a cap, and also to oppose allowing renters to be automatically enrolled for renters insurance (amendments C and D).

Seattle voters overwhelmingly approved renter-led, permanently affordable social housing. The charter for Seattle Social Housing designates 7 of 13 board seats for renters. Two renter seats are currently vacant. The Commission is accepting applications through Dec. 14. Apply at tinyurl.com/SSHDapp
