Washington Lease Renewal Agreement

$19

Extend an existing tenancy for a new term without redrafting the whole lease — set the new dates and rent, note any other changed terms, and everything else from the original lease stays in force.

Core state figures — deposit caps, notice periods, entry rules — independently verified by a licensed U.S. attorney.

What Washington law requires

Security deposit cap: Washington does not limit how much a landlord can charge for a security deposit on an ordinary residential lease (a separate, lower cap of one month's rent — two months' if the tenant has pets — applies only to manufactured/mobile home LOT rentals under a different chapter of state law, RCW 59.20.170, which does not apply here). The deposit must be held in a trust account at a Washington financial institution or with a licensed escrow agent.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need this instead of a new lease?

If the tenant is staying and most terms are unchanged, a renewal is simpler than a full new lease. If a lot is changing (new tenants, major rule changes), a fresh lease is cleaner.

Can I raise the rent with this document?

Yes — set the new monthly rent for the renewal term. Some states cap how much or how often rent can increase; verify your state's rule before finalizing the amount.
