As of May 2023, over 300 market-rate apartment buildings in Seattle include a modest share of rent-restricted affordable units. Property owners agree to make those units available to satisfy requirements of a variety of land use or incentive requirements (the Multifamily Tax Exemption Program is one example). Household income requirements are dependent on the size of the household and rent levels are typically based on the number of bedrooms. The management team for each property handles the income certification and leasing process. Inquiries about vacancies and the application process must be directed to the property, not the Seattle Office of Housing.

Leasing Affordable Units in Market-Rate Apartment Buildings

If you want to lease an affordable rental unit in a market-rate property, you must contact the property manager for the participating multifamily rental building. They will provide you with an application and certify your household income.

If you are unable to use the interactive map and would like a list of MFTE, MHA, IZ, and other market-rate properties that participate in the City's Incentive program, please contact us at OFH_MFTE@seattle.gov.

Current income and rent restrictions

Inquire about affordable rental unit vacancies directly with the property managers for properties you are interested in.

Households applying to lease an affordable rental unit must disclose all income sources and verify total household income prior to signing a lease. Contact the property manager for properties you are interested for information about the income certification process.

The Office of Housing does not have information about or maintain a waitlist for affordable rental housing vacancies.
