¶39 In Pruitt, Michael Pruitt and his parents sued their neighbors Vincent and Denise Jackson, the Jacksons’ landlords, and the real estate management company for injuries Michael (a nontenant) suffered after the garage door of the Jacksons’ rental home fell on his head. 128 Wn. App. at 328. The Pruitts argued they could recover under section 17.6 for the landlords’ breach, of an implied warranty of habitability, relying on Lian II. Pruitt, 128 Wn. App. at 331-32. We declined to address the question of adopting section 17.6 because the Pruitts offered no precedent or policy discussion supporting extending section 17.6 to nontenants. Pruitt, 128 Wn. App. at 332.
