Multi-Family Properties

Multi-family homes include apartment buildings, townhouses, condominiums, and shared housing.

Tenants in multi-family units may receive a utility statement from a company other than the City of Renton. The city does not regulate these third-party billing agencies and questions should be directed to the company issuing the statement or to the leasing office for an explanation of charges.
