14.08.050 First-in-time
A. Effective January 1, 2017, it is an unfair practice for a person to fail
to:
1. provide notice to a prospective occupant, in writing or by posting in
the office of the person leasing the unit or in the building where the unit
is physically located and, if existing, on the website advertising rental of
the unit, in addition to and at the same time as providing the information
required by RCW 59.18.257(1), of:
a. the criteria the owner will use to screen prospective
occupants and the minimum threshold for each criterion that the
potential occupant must meet to move forward in the application
process; including, to the extent reasonably foreseeable, any different or
additional criteria that will be used if the owner chooses to conduct an
individualized assessment related to criminal records.
b. all information, documentation, and other submissions
necessary for the owner to conduct screening using the criteria stated in
the notice required in subsection 14.08.050.A.1.a. A rental application is
considered complete when it includes all the information,
documentation, and other submissions stated in the notice required in
this subsection 14.08.050.A.1.b. Lack of a material omission in the
application by a prospective occupant will not render the application
incomplete.
c. information explaining how to request additional time to
complete an application to either ensure meaningful access to the
application or a reasonable accommodation and how fulfilling the
request impacts the application receipt date, pursuant to subsection
14.08.050.B and C.
d. the applicability to the available unit of the exceptions
stated in subsections 14.08.050.A.4.a and b.
2. note the date and time of when the owner receives a
completed rental application, whether submitted through the mail,
electronically, or in person.
3. screen completed rental applications in chronological order as
required in subsection 14.08.050.A.2 to determine whether a
prospective occupant meets all the screening criteria that are necessary
for approval of the application. If, after conducting the screening, the
owner needs more information than was stated in the notice required in
Page 8
Full Council Meeting Minutes August 8, 2016
subsection 14.08.050.A.1.b to determine whether to approve the
application or takes an adverse action as described in RCW
59.18.257(1)(c) and or decides to conduct an individualized assessment,
the application shall not be rendered incomplete. The owner shall notify
the prospective occupant in writing, by phone, or in person of what
additional information is needed, and the specified period of time (at
least 72 hours) that the prospective occupant has to provide the
additional information. The owner’s failure to provide the notice required
in this subsection 14.08.050.A.3 does not affect the prospective
occupant’s right to 72 hours to provide additional information. If the
additional information is provided within the specified period of time, the
original submission date of the completed application for purposes of
determining the chronological order of receipt will not be affected. If the
information is not provided by the end of the specified period of time, the
owner may consider the application incomplete or reject the application.
4. offer tenancy of the available unit to the first prospective
occupant meeting all the screening criteria necessary for approval of the
application. If the first approved prospective occupant does not accept
the offer of tenancy for the available unit within 48 hours of when the
offer is made, the owner shall review the next completed rental
application in chronological order until a prospective occupant accepts
the owner’s offer of tenancy. This subsection 14.08.050.A.4 does not
apply when the owner:
a. is legally obligated to set aside the available unit to
serve specific vulnerable populations;
b. voluntarily agrees to set aside the available unit to serve
specific vulnerable populations, including but not limited to homeless
persons, survivors of domestic violence, persons with low income, and
persons referred to the owner by non-profit organizations or social
service agencies.
B. If a prospective occupant requires additional time to submit a
complete rental application because of the need to ensure meaningful
access to the application, including but not limited to the need for a
translator or an application in a different language, or for a reasonable
accommodation, the prospective occupant must make a request to the
owner. The owner shall document the date and time of the request and
it will serve as the date and time of receipt for purposes of determining
the chronological order of receipt pursuant to subsection 14.08.050.A.2.
The owner shall not unreasonably deny a request for additional time. If
the request for additional time is denied, the date and time of receipt of
the complete application shall serve as the date and time of receipt
pursuant to subsection 14.08.050.A.2. This subsection 14.08.050.B
Page 9

does not diminish or otherwise affect any duty of an owner under local,
state, or federal law to grant a reasonable accommodation to an
individual with a disability.
***
ACTION 7:
Motion was made by Councilmember Bagshaw, duly seconded and
carried, to amend Council Bill 118755, by adding a new 11th recital as
shown in the underlined language below:
***
WHEREAS, the first-in-time policy will not apply to single-family
dwellings including accessory dwelling units wherein the owner or
person entitled to possession maintains a permanent residence, as
described in 14.08.190.A; and
***
ACTION 8:
Motion was made by Councilmember Herbold and duly seconded to
amend Council Bill 118755, Section 2, Seattle Municipal Code
14.08.020, "Preferred employer program" by adding a comma, as shown
below:
"Preferred employer program” does not include different terms and
conditions provided in city-funded housing or other publicly funded

designated as employer housing which is owned or operated by an
employer and leased for the benefit of its employees only, or any
