(The Center Square) – The Spokane City Council approved an ordinance on Monday prohibiting landlords from evicting tenants or raising rent without a business license, potentially sparking a lawsuit.
The legislation amends an existing section of the Spokane Municipal Code to provide some accountability for another ordinance passed last year. That measure requires landlords to obtain an annual business license from the city and comply with registration requirements.
