The White Salmon City Council will consider on Wednesday an ordinance to increase the notice required for rent increases of over ten percent from the state-required sixty days to 180.  The Council held hearings in May and two weeks ago on the tenant protection proposal.  Mayor Marla Keethler says they’ve heard from many tenants that they are getting notice of increases ranging from 50 to 200 percent, adding the ten percent is based on their assessment of cost of living increases.  Keethler adds with a tight housing market, tenants who elect to leave a property due to a large rent increase need more time to find other options.  Wednesday’s meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the Council chambers in the White Salmon Fire Hall.
