Landlord Gateway

Centralizing information for landlords to navigate the City’s property management resources.

About

The Landlord Gateway Program centralizes resources to help both current and prospective landlords navigate the City’s processes, requirements, and guidance through a single location.

Using the Gateway, landlords can learn how to:

  • Obtain a rental license and start renting their property.
  • Maintain their existing rental license and access services for licensed landlords.
  • Participate in affordable housing programs to access a regular income, incentives, and resources.

The Gateway includes housing-related services and resources from 16 City departments and agencies to help landlords manage rental properties and tenants to stay current with rent.

Landlords: Schedule violation reinspections earlier and easier!

Property owners who receive a Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I) violation typically have five to 35 days to correct the issue.

After that period, L&I automatically conducts a follow-up inspection. However, owners who correct their violations sooner may request an earlier reinspection.

To streamline these requests, L&I Quality of Life (QOL) and Inspections, Safety and Compliance (ISC) have developed a single joint reinspection request form.

Visit the L&I Code Enforcement webpage for more information or request your L&I reinspection.
