<div dir="ltr">It is my understanding that in these situations the Lessee becomes the landlord in regards to the relationship with the Sublessee who is renting the room. So the normal landlord-tenant laws apply. The Sublessee is the tenant and Lessee is the landlord. One important provision to remember for room rentals in the recently passed statute addressing termination - RCW 59.18.650 - is that if a bathroom or kitchen is shared, the landlord only has to give 20 days' notice of termination before the end of the term. RCW 59.18.650(2)(i).<div><br></div><div>If I recall there are also some federal cases that allow the landlord to deny potential tenants based on gender and age who are going to rent rooms in a house where the landlord also resides, when otherwise it is prohibited. </div><div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Kelby J.
