Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Washington
landlord/tenant law
is a landlord legally able to withhold money from an employees check? I have an email confirmation that they wouldn't take any money out but they took $760.00 and it's causing me a huge hardship as they know i'm moving out of state this week, how can i get it back?

Re: landlord/tenant law
If you are an employee of the landlord and your residence is contingent on your job you are not covered by the residential landlord tenant act.
That said, I don't do employment law but I promise you that withholding money you have earned from your paycheck is an absolute no-go.
If you start at access dot wa dot gov you will get to Employment Security. I believe you can file a complaint on line. As with all official communications, you can call but follow up your calls with a letter.
Employment Standards will help you.
