Welcome to the new visitlandmark.com website. Same team, same local service since 1993, just a new and improved website experience.
Our Equal Housing Opportunity commitment, your rights as a renter, and local programs that can help, all on one page.
Your rights
As a Landmark tenant you’re protected by federal fair housing law, the Washington State Residential Landlord-Tenant Act, and your city’s local rental ordinances. Together these cover your right to a habitable home, fair and equal treatment, privacy and proper notice, the timely return of your deposit, and protection from retaliation for exercising your rights.
Local rules vary by jurisdiction and change over time, so rather than reproduce any single ordinance here, we point you to the authoritative sources below. This information is provided for educational purposes and is not legal advice.
Equal Housing Opportunity
Landmark Real Estate Management provides equal housing opportunity to all and complies with the Federal Fair Housing Act and the Washington State Law Against Discrimination. The official Fair Housing information below details your rights and how to report discrimination.
The resources
