¶20 In denying the Plaintiffs' motion for attorney's fees, the District Court
stated that the Defendants' "liability was limited to the general theory of
negligence as Judge Moran concluded." After considering the allegations of
the complaint, the directed verdict, and the jury verdict on damages, the court
reasoned that Plaintiffs prevailed solely under a general theory of negligence
and not under the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, § 70-24-101, MCA,
et seq. It thus concluded that the attorney fees provision of that Act did not
apply and denied Plaintiffs' motion.
