As of May 1, 2023 (six months after the end of the public health emergency), landlords are no longer required to offer tenants a repayment plan for any unpaid rent accrued on or after May 1, 2023. Landlords are still required to offer tenants a repayment plan for any unpaid rent accrued between March 1, 2020, and April 30, 2023. See RCW 59.18.630 for more information.

The Eviction Resolution Pilot Program expires on July 1, 2023. After that date, landlord participation in the Eviction Resolution Pilot Program will no longer be a pre-requisite to filing court eviction proceedings for non-payment of rent. See RCW 59.18.660 for more information.
