I have a 3 unit multifamily - I want to renew the rental license. The zip code requires lead test, however I don't think I can get it done before my license expires. Is it okay if I renew a few months after it expires?

@Pat Hamilton I don't think you have a choice at this point...
Get the lead test done ASAP and file results so you can renew your license. By law you aren't allowed to collect rent without an active license. The police won't bust in your windows the day after it expires but for a multitude of reasons you should work to have it in place ASAP to cover your bases.
Also- L&I is in the process of instituting a 1.5% monthly penalty for expired licenses as well. Send a message if you need a lead tester referral. Best of luck.
