\"rentalStarting in January of 2017, Seattle landlords will need to employ updated rental screening processes to ensure they are accepting applicants on a \u201cfirst come, first serve\u201d basis. The new policy is intended to combat housing discrimination in the Seattle rental market. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This new rental law, which is being hailed as the first of its kind, will require that landlords accept the first qualified rental applicant that passes their screening criteria. Seattle is experiencing the nation\u2019s fastest rent increases and a large demand for rental housing, according to Zillow data reported by the <\/span>Seattle Times<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

First come, first serve polices are recommended in the housing industry in order for landlords to avoid discrimination claims, but Seattle Councilmember Lisa Herbold moved that a general guideline is not enough. <\/span><\/p>\n

The goal is to ensure prospective renters are treated equally, according to Councilmember Lisa Herbold, who championed the policy. When landlords pick one renter among multiple qualified applicants, their own biases \u2014 conscious or unconscious \u2014 may come into play, she says. – <\/span>Seattle Times<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Along with the first come, first serve policy, the City Council voted to add anti-discrimination protections based on a renters\u2019 use of subsidy or verifiable alternative source of income; and voted to <\/span>prohibit preferred employer programs<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The New First Come, First Serve Landlord Policy<\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s how the city of Seattle plans to enforce the new policy, called the First-in-Time policy. <\/span><\/p>\n

A landlord will have to disclose information regarding their <\/span>minimum screening criteria<\/span><\/a> before accepting rental applications. <\/span><\/p>\n

The landlord will have to screen applicants in the order in which the applications were received, \u00a0in person, electronically or through the mail, and make offers to qualified applicants in that order. <\/span><\/p>\n

Landlords will be required to keep records of when applications were received. Renters can then request those records from the Seattle Office of Civil Rights. If applicants think they were wrongfully skipped, they will be able to sue the landlord.<\/span><\/p>\n

Source of Income Rental Law<\/h3>\n

The Seattle City Council today unanimously approved a new law outlawing housing discrimination based on source of income. While the city already bans discrimination against people with Section 8 vouchers, this law will cover all types of income and housing vouchers, like housing subsidies or disability payments to help pay their rent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prohibit Special Deals for Tenants Rental Law<\/h3>\n

The law will also ban special deals for tenants based on where they work, and will require landlords to rent to the first applicant who qualifies, an effort to offset implicit or explicit bias. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, <\/span>Time.com<\/span><\/i> reported on Seattle landlords providing \u201cPreferred Employee Specials\u201d by offering <\/span>rent discounts to tech workers<\/span><\/a> at Microsoft and Google. Seattle\u2019s new rental law will prohibit this type of rental discount.<\/span><\/p>\n

How will the new policies be enforced?<\/h3>\n

The city will conduct an audit of the new policies 18 months from their taking effect.The goal is to ensure prospective renters are treated equally, according to Councilmember Lisa Herbold, who championed the policy.
