I don't know WA law for I've never lived there.

How was feudalism different from your way of living?
Feudalism consisted of a system of holdings or occupying of land(fiefs) by a vassal (subject) in return for that vassals' service to a Lord. These services included oaths of homage, goods paid in kind and military services. In return for these services the Lord promised to provide protection over the lands held by the vassal and aid. On breaches of these oaths the lord was entitled to take back the land. In today's society, we may hold a house from a landlord which would be similar to the plot of land held by a vassal and although there are similarities in the sense that both the tenant and the Landlord would come to a series of arrangements (in the form of a contract) which both the Landlord and the tenant have to abide by. We are not asked to provide military service to the landlord or provide that landlord with aids (gifts of money.)
Does a tenant lose their security deposit if the landlord sells the property?
No, not simply by virtue of a sale of the property. However, the tenant must take the necessary steps to safeguard their deposit. Security deposits are a complicated issue and state and local laws may vary regarding how they are to be managed. The tenant should always make sure to obtain a receipt for the security deposit at the beginning of their tenancy and keep that proof in a safe place.Generally, a security deposit is supposed to be kept by the landlord in a separate account during the tenancy. When the tenant moves, the security deposit can be used to repair any extraordinary damage to the property apart from normal wear and tear. If the landlord wants to keep the deposit, they must provide a detailed accounting to the tenant that lists any damage and the cost to make the repairs and provide that statement within a certain time period, typically 30 days. If the landlord fails to follow state law then the tenant will be granted 2 to 3 times the original amount as a refund if they take the case to small claims court.When a leased property is sold and the tenant plans to remain in the rental they should discuss the security deposit with the departing landlord and make certain it is turned over to the tenant or the new landlord. They should obtain a receipt that documents this changeover.If you have further questions you should contact your local landlord/tenant agency.
