WA HB2118

Prohibits homeowners associations and common interest community associations from imposing more restrictive covenants, conditions, or restrictions on unit/lot owners than those that existed when the owner purchased the property, unless the owner expressly agrees in writing

Protects owners' "types of use" including residential, agricultural, or commercial purposes; the ability to rent the property for any duration; and the ability to develop the property in accordance with applicable laws

Requires associations to record exceptions for owners who claim protection under these provisions, with owners responsible for providing purchase dates and paying recording fees

Does not apply to restrictions required by federal, state, or local law, and does not prevent enforcement of restrictions that already existed when the owner acquired the property

Adds parallel provisions to four RCW chapters governing different types of common interest communities (64.90, 64.38, 64.34, 64.32), with sections for chapters 64.38, 64.34, and 64.32 expiring January 1, 2028
