No. 52222-5-II

III. REVISION HEARING

Guy and Mattler filed a motion to revise the commissioner’s decision with the superior

court. At the time of the revision hearing, Guy and Mattler had voluntarily moved out of the house

on August 1, 2018.

The superior court denied the motion for revision and issued a written order adopting the

commissioner’s findings, conclusions, and decision granting the writ and concluding that Tedford

did not retaliate. The superior court then awarded additional attorney fees and costs for Tedford

and entered a supplemental judgment in the amount of $1,000.

Guy and Mattler appeal.

pending a lawsuit. Carlstrom v. Hanline, 98 Wn. App. 780, 788, 990 P.2d 986 (2000). The

Residential Landlord-Tenant Act of 1973 applies when a dispute involves a residential lease.
