[WSBARP] New Law requiring Landlord to accept HUD?

[Marcus Fry]

Julie:
To my knowledge, I believe it was the City of Bellevue or maybe even Seattle that was trying to adopt this.  I am not sure if it even passed.  But to my knowledge, nothing has passed in our State legislature.

Subject: [WSBARP] New Law requiring Landlord to accept HUD?

I have a landlord who a person looking to rent a residence that claims if the landlord does not  accept HUD vouchers that she can sue him for discrimination.  I have never heard of this and the person claims that it is a new law.  Is anyone aware of any reason that a landlord has to accept HUD vouchers if his property is not part of the HUD approved housing or program?
