My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Washington
County of Whatcom
A friend of mine recently moved into a brand-new apartment complex - it's less than two years old in Whatcom County. What's strange is that he and his friend rented a 2-bedroom, 1 bath apartment. However, only one of the rooms has a window in it. The other room has a closet, air vent with forced fan ventilation into the living room (which I thought was very odd), and only one door to enter/exit the room. There is no window in that room.
My understanding of Washington State law is that every room has to have a window in it, regardless. Is there an exception to this law if the building has sprinklers, central fire suppression, etc? This building has all of that. It specifically says in the lease that this is a two-bedroom apartment.
Thanks in advance.
