Tacoma Winter Eviction Ban Ends

April 4, 2024

After Measure 1 passed in Tacoma and became the Landlord Fairness Code Initiative, the winter eviction ban became law. Tacoma's winter eviction ban runs until April 1st of the calendar year, which means that the ban expired on Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024 and will go into effect once more on Friday, November 1st, 2024.

As anticipated, the expiration of the winter eviction ban created a bottleneck. Writs of restitution issued during the winter ban are now backlogged at the Sheriff's office. Currently, LandlordSolutions is still waiting for Tacoma writs issued on March 12th to be processed. Any cases with newly-issued writs can expect a wait time of about four weeks before the writs can be processed by the Sheriff's office.

The Landlord Fairness Code Initiative also bans school year evictions for families with school age children and employees/vendors of the school district. The school year eviction ban ends on the last calendar day of the Tacoma Public Schools school year, which will take place this year on June 21st, 2024. Although there will be an influx of new writs getting processed after June 21st, we anticipate that this bottleneck will be smaller compared to the winter eviction ban.
