Washington Lead-Based Paint Disclosure

This Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is built with Washington as the governing state. These are the Washington landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Landlord entry & access

A Washington landlord must give at least two days’ written notice before entering to inspect, make repairs or improvements, or supply services, and at least one day’s notice to show the unit to prospective tenants or buyers. The notice must state the exact date and time of entry — or a window with the earliest and latest possible times — and a phone number the tenant can use to object or reschedule (RCW 59.18.150).

Entry must be at reasonable times, and the tenant can’t unreasonably withhold consent. No notice is needed in an emergency or when the unit has been abandoned.
