## Resource

Spokane’s City Council is poised to vote on a “right to cooling” law as early as July 15th, potentially forcing landlords to provide air conditioning to tenants to prevent heat-related health dangers. Originally slated for 2031, the law may now take effect as soon as mid-July, with tenants able to install their own cooling systems and deduct up to $500 from rent if landlords fail to act. While supporters argue it’s a life-saving measure—citing 20 deaths during the 2021 heat dome—opponents warn it could strain older buildings and drive up housing costs. The debate underscores a growing conflict between tenant safety and property owner economics amid rising extreme weather. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
