💨 Abstract

Washington lawmakers have passed bills to limit rent increases and provide unemployment benefits to striking workers, pending the governor's approval. If signed into law, Washington will join states like Oregon and California in efforts to curb homelessness. The rent stabilization bill, which caps rent increases at 7% plus inflation or 10% (whichever is lower), also protects tenants in single-family homes.
