Section 8 discrimination laws in King County, WA
We are getting ready to rent out our first home in the Seattle area, and we just learned that there is an anti-discrimination law in King County regarding Section 8. I have been telling people that we are not accepting Section 8 (oops!?). The article my husband read indicated that landlords cannot disqualify on the basis of Section 8 alone. Rather, there has to be other disqualifying factors in addition to, say, the 3x rent monthly income. We have a specific set of criteria spelled out for renters. Just wondering how others have gotten around this legally if you have not wanted to accept the vouchers.
Thank you!
