Spokane passes eviction prevention law requiring landlords to offer aid before evicting tenants for nonpayment.
The Spokane City Council approved a new eviction prevention ordinance on February 3, 2026, requiring landlords to offer tenants access to assistance programs before pursuing nonpayment evictions.
The law mandates written notice of available aid at lease signing and during eviction notices, with a 30-day diversion period for rent-related cases.
Managed by Community Health and Human Services, the program aims to reduce homelessness, improve housing stability, and strengthen landlord-tenant relationships.
Passed 5-2, it reflects growing demand for proactive housing support amid rising insecurity, though some council members and housing experts raised concerns about funding and potential impacts on affordability.
