Tyler Richardson with the Tri-City Herald wrote a great story today about my Safe Keys bill.
One woman’s fight to take a stance against violent crime after being raped in her Richland apartment in 2009 has effectively helped change the way landlords throughout the state are required to secure duplicate apartment keys.
A gap in the Landlord-Tenant Act that failed to address what landlords do with tenants’ extra keys was closed this week when House Bill 1647, also known as the Safe Keys Bill, was signed by Gov. Jay Inslee.
The driving force behind the new law was 51-year-old Dana Widrig.
