Seattle City Council Passes Originally Proposed $10 Late-Fee Cap on Rent
The Seattle City Council has passed a $10 late-fee cap on rent with a 7-2 vote. Seattle now joins the nearby cities of Auburn and Burien in establishing a $10 late fee cap. Socialist City Councilmember Kshama Sawant sponsored Council Bill 120541. The bill cites that while many Seattle landlords do not charge punishing late fees, many do treat late fees as yet another opportunity to exploit their renters. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/washington-in-focus/support
