Legal advice for rental property

Hello all! I have a question.

My mom is approaching retirement and is considering downsizing to a smaller place. She has a SFR currently. I brought up the idea of renting it out but she was concerned about all the legal issues that could come up. I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for someone to talk to about all the legal aspects of renting out a SFR.

She lives in the Seattle area. Any recommendation is great appreciated!

Washington in general is a very Tenant friendly state, but most of the onerous rules people are referencing are Seattle city regulations, not Washington state. Renton will be a lot easier to stay in compliance in as a landlord vs. Seattle.
