Moreover, the RLTA does not bar a tenant from "pursuit of remedies otherwise provided him by law" for the landlord's failure to carry out the duties required under RCW 59.18.060. RCW 59.18.070. Some legal commentators have interpreted "remedies otherwise provided by law" to include a tort action for personal injuries caused by the landlord's breach of the RLTA.
