🏠 DID YOU KNOW...?

[Espanol abajo]

If your landlord withholds money from your security deposit, you have the right to documentation showing why.

In Washington State, landlords must provide an itemized statement explaining any deductions from your security deposit. You may also be entitled to receipts or other documentation supporting those charges.

Knowing your rights can help you protect your money and make informed decisions when moving out.

🏠 ¿SABÍAS QUE...?

Si tu arrendador retiene dinero de tu depósito de seguridad, tienes derecho a documentación que explique el motivo.

En el estado de Washington, los arrendadores deben proporcionar un estado de cuenta detallado que explique cualquier deducción hecha a tu depósito de seguridad. También puedes tener derecho a recibir recibos u otra documentación que respalde esos cargos.

Conocer tus derechos puede ayudarte a proteger tu dinero y a tomar decisiones informadas al mudarte.
