Real Property Management Eclipse

🍁 Winter is when deferred maintenance gets expensive.

A gutter that wasn't cleared, a furnace that wasn't serviced, a draft that wasn't sealed; none of it feels necessarily urgent in October. But by January, it's a maintenance emergency and an unhappy resident. A pre-winter inspection now is the cheapest fix you'll make all year.

RPM Eclipse handles seasonal upkeep so it doesn't become your emergency call.

⚖️ Washington Landlord Law Update: rent increase notice periods have gotten longer.

Under current Washington law, landlords must give tenants advance written notice before raising rent (as applicable under local law). If you're self-managing, missing a notice deadline can mean an increase doesn't legally take effect on schedule.
