For 2026, the Washington standard rent limit checked by RentCap is 9.683%. Tacoma adds city notice and relocation-assistance questions, and the city's overlapping notice descriptions are still under source review.

- Timing issue to watch
- Tacoma materials describe a 180-day city notice and other notice timing that RentCap has not yet reconciled for paid packets.
- City rules
- Tacoma can add city-form and relocation-assistance duties. Paid Tacoma packets remain paused because current city materials do not give RentCap enough certainty about the full notice sequence.

Landlord next step
Check before you deliver
Use the free result to review amount and dates, but do not substitute a statewide packet for Tacoma's city process. Paid Tacoma packet checkout stays paused while the notice sequence is verified.
Renter next step
Use the notice exactly as written
Use the free checker to separate statewide amount and timing issues from Tacoma relocation questions. Compare any city notice with Tacoma's current published guidance.
What to enter
Use the current rent, proposed rent, actual or planned delivery date, delivery method, kind of home, rental agreement, and any property-exemption facts you know. It is fine to mark difficult facts as unknown.

Tacoma amount check
The amount check starts with the current monthly rent and the proposed new rent. RentCap calculates the percentage increase, compares it with the published Washington limit, and keeps exemption questions separate so a missing fact does not look like a clean pass.
Tacoma timing check
Washington notice timing and service rules decide the earliest supported effective date. The checker also aligns monthly increases to the rent-period start day entered in the form, because a day-count minimum can land mid-cycle.
City rules
Tacoma can add city-form and relocation-assistance duties. Paid Tacoma packets remain paused because current city materials do not give RentCap enough certainty about the full notice sequence. ZIP code is used as a backup for the cities RentCap covers, which helps avoid a wrong answer when the city name is misspelled or abbreviated.
