¶11 The MHLTA requires rental agreements to contain certain provisions and prohibits others. Former RCW 59.20.060 (2006). Any term in a rental agreement that conflicts with the MHLTA is unenforceable. Former RCW 59.20.060. Further, a landlord who seeks to increase rent can do so “upon expiration of the term of a rental agreement of any duration” by notifying the tenant in writing three months prior to the effective date of any rent increase. RCW 59.20.090(2); McGahuey v. Hwang, 104 Wn. App. 176, 182, 15 P.3d 672, review denied, 144 Wn.2d 1004 (2001). But nothing in the MHLTA prohibits a landlord from including in a rental agreement a limit on future rent increases. See former RCW 59.20.060.
