King County judge upholds series of Seattle eviction protections The ordinances upheld by the judge include: A mandate requiring landlords to offer tenants a payment plan option for late rent accrued during, or within six months of the end of Seattle’s pandemic-induced state of emergency A “financial hardship” defense tenants can cite in court to challenge an eviction, also during or within six months of the city’s state of emergency A ban on evictions during winter months, which would remain in place indefinitely post-pandemic The judge also struck down one small aspect of an ordinance that had limited the ability of landlords to collect interest on late rent payments. A different judge at the federal level has previously denied a request to temporarily halt Seattle’s eviction moratorium as part of a separate lawsuit that has yet to be fully resolved.
