Have you ever received a 20-day "no-cause" notice to vacate your home? Do you know someone who has? The Washington Low Income Housing Alliance would love to connect with you and anyone who has firsthand experience of this harmful loophole in our tenant protections.  

No-cause evictions are a serious problem in Washington for many reasons, including that they: 

A) Directly force people out of their community and into housing instability and homelessness 

B) Restrict renters' access to justice, bypassing the court system in which the renter could otherwise make an argument to keep their home, and  

C) Often hide underlying discrimination or retaliation by the landlord.  

We are asking for your help to share our Evicted without Cause web page with anyone who has directly experienced a no-cause eviction so they can share their experiences and get connected with our statewide advocacy effort to require a legitimate business reason to terminate one's tenancy. Please forward the link (www.evictedwithoutcause.com) widely via social media, newsletters, listservs, and even your website, and if you're a service provider, please share the form with any clients who have been directly impacted by this issue. As always, real stories by real people are what change lawmakers' minds.  

Please contact me directly with any questions or thoughts!
