HOMES UNLIMITED v. SEATTLE

No. 4192-1.

17 Wn. App. 47 (1977)

561 P.2d 1089

HOMES UNLIMITED, INC., ET AL, Appellants, v. THE CITY OF SEATTLE, Respondent.

The Court of Appeals of Washington, Division One.

March 7, 1977.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Olwell, Boyle & Hattrup, Lee Olwell, Goodin & Garvey, Paul A. Goodin, and Leo F. Garvey, for appellants.

John P. Harris, Corporation Counsel, and Lawrence K. McDonell, Assistant, for respondent.


WILLIAMS, J.

This action was brought to test the constitutionality and validity of a Seattle ordinance regulating rental agencies. The trial court found the ordinance legal except for a surety bond provision. With one further exception, we affirm.

The rental agencies bringing the action are engaged in furnishing information of housing accommodations available for rent. They do not act as real estate brokers, and normally charge a fee in advance.
