By Mellow DeTray Here's what happened at Monday night's (Sept. 12, 2022) Burien City Council Special Meeting: Eviction Moratorium Ends With State of Emergency, by Oct. 31, 2022 The City's eviction moratorium, the last in Washington State, will be lifted by Oct. 31, 2022 with the conclusion of Governor Inslee's State of Emergency. Many of the public comments during Monday night's meeting addressed the impacts of the eviction moratorium. Landlords struggle to keep their properties without rent coming in, or are choosing to keep properties empty rather than rent without the protection against non-paying tenants; and tenants worry about eviction or rising rents and seek more renter protections.
