Summary
With Western Washington sweltering under a heatwave, new law Senate Bill 6200 gives renters the green light to install portable and window AC units — unless landlords can prove a valid reason like existing heat pumps, code violations, or electrical overload. Landlords can’t block window units if they don’t block locks, damage walls, or pose safety risks — and must show insurance paperwork if it prohibits them. Renters still need to handle installation risks themselves — landlords aren’t liable for injuries or power outages caused by their units. Mobile home dwellers? Same rules apply — just keep it safe and legal. Stay cool, stay compliant. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
