RRIO stands for the Rental Registration & Inspection Ordinance. It was established by the Seattle City Council to help ensure that all rental housing in Seattle is safe and fit for habitation. The ordinance states that starting in 2014, all rental property owners in Seattle must register their properties with the City. A list of approved inspectors will make sure all registered rental properties comply with minimum housing and safety standards at least once every 5 – 10 years. SJA Property Management will make sure your rental property complies with the registration requirements and will coordinate the inspection should one occur. The registration fee charged by the City is $175 per rental property and the inspection fee is a separate $160. So far, this requirement only pertains to properties located in the City of Seattle.
