A lease agreement in Washington typically contains many pages of fine print. To protect your interests as a tenant, whether residential or commercial, you should never sign a lease without having a lawyer review and explain the documents. Every line and box you initial is there for a reason. You may end up waiving important rights or committing yourself to paying rent even if you need to move out of the area for employment reasons.
