Wash. Rev. Code § 59.18 § 59.18.730
Online landlord resource center.
Operative Text
The department of commerce shall create an online landlord resource center to distribute information to landlords about available programs, associated services, and resources including, but not limited to, the following: (1) The landlord mitigation program created in RCW 43.31.605 ; (2) The low-income residential weatherization programs created in chapter 70A.35 RCW; and (3) Any other programs and resources that the department of commerce determines are relevant.
Under Wash. Rev. Code § 59.18.730, Washington's Department of Commerce is directed to establish and maintain an online resource center specifically for landlords. The center is designed to consolidate information about state programs and services that landlords may find useful, including the landlord mitigation program and low-income residential weatherization programs. The Department of Commerce retains discretion to add other programs and resources it deems relevant to the platform.

Wash. Rev. Code § 59.18.730 establishes a state-maintained online hub where property owners and managers can find information about programs such as the landlord mitigation program under RCW 43.31.605 and weatherization assistance under chapter 70A.35 RCW. Operators who stay informed about these resources are generally better positioned to take advantage of available financial assistance, energy efficiency programs, and other support services. Checking the Department of Commerce's online landlord resource center periodically can help property owners remain aware of newly added programs as the department expands the platform over time.

While Wash. Rev. Code § 59.18.730 is primarily directed at landlords, tenants may benefit indirectly because the provision encourages landlords to participate in programs like weatherization assistance, which can improve housing conditions. Tenants who are curious about whether their landlord has access to relevant state resources—such as the mitigation program or energy efficiency programs—can review the Department of Commerce's online resource center themselves. Tenant-rights organizations can also help renters understand how these programs may intersect with their housing situation under Washington's Residential Landlord-Tenant Act.
