Washington Lease renewal / non-renewal notice

Last reviewed 2026-10-15

Does a landlord have to give notice before not renewing a lease in Washington?

Landlords need a statutory cause to refuse to continue a tenancy. A fixed-term lease can end without cause only in limited cases (e.g., 12+ month term) and with at least 60 days' written notice before it ends.
