On page 14, after line 17, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 7. A new section is added to chapter 59.18 RCW to read as follows:

A city, town, or county may not enforce any local ordinances or provisions that require a landlord to provide notice to a tenant of rent increases over a certain amount, allow a tenant to terminate a tenancy due to the amount of a rent increase, or limit the amount of late fees charged due to nonpayment of rent.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 8. A new section is added to chapter 59.20 RCW to read as follows:

A city, town, or county may not enforce any local ordinances or provisions that require a landlord to provide notice to a tenant of rent increases over a certain amount or allow a tenant to terminate a tenancy due to the amount of a rent increase."

Correct the title.
