SHOWING YOUR RENTAL – WASHINGTON STATE

The owner has the right to show the rental property to prospective buyers or tenants with 24 hours’ notice.  On the other hand, the tenant also has the right of quiet enjoyment.  These may be competing rights.  The tenants also have the right to reasonably say no to showings.

The Landlord Tenant Act does not address lockboxes, signs or open houses.  These should all be discussed with the tenant by the owner and listing broker prior to listing the property.
