Extra Fizz: Tenants' Rights Bill

By Josh Feit January 13, 2010

Here's a bill we're adding to our bill tracker. (Our Olympia team, Josh Cohen, Teodora Popescu, and me, have a list of bills we're watching closely this session. And this one—civil rights, property rights, interesting stuff—came to my attention today):

Olympia-area Rep. Brendan Williams (D-22) is sponsoring a bill that would prevent landlords—unless they explicitly get tenants to sign off on it in a lease—from prohibiting political canvassers (candidates, their supporters, or people doorbelling on initiatives) from coming to the door.
