Building envelope issues are typically the landlord's responsibility under the Washington Landlord Tenant Act unless the tenant is causing the issue by not performing one of the tenant's duties imposed by the Act. For instance, failing to utilize a bathroom exhaust fan may be cause for the moisture, or failing to report water leaks causing excess moisture to build. Otherwise, it is the duty of the landlord to address the issue, especially if the tenant provides written notice to the landlord about the issue. You should consult with an attorney directly about this issue.
