Sample installment schedule
Based on Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) 7.24.035 (deposit and fees), SMC 7.24.036 (last month’s rent), and SMC 7.24.038 (pet deposits). Installments carry no interest and no extra fee, and a landlord cannot refuse to rent to you for choosing them. Leases of 30 days up to 6 months may use fewer than 4 payments; this sample shows the maximum. You and the landlord may agree in writing to a different schedule.
