Dexheimer. In. Dexheimer, we rejected a tenant’s claim for tort damages following breach of the Landlord-Tenant Act. We concluded that the tenant’s remedies for the landlord’s breach of RCW 59.18.060 were limited to only those remedies specifically set forth in our Landlord-Tenant Act. Dexheimer v. CDS, Inc., 104 Wn. App. 464, 471,17 P.3d 641 (2001). Other jurisdictions allow a tenant’s cause of action *258arising from statutory duties under their versions of the Uniform Landlord-Tenant Act.12 And Washington commentators appear to agree.13 We conclude that the Washington Residential Landlord-Tenant Act of 1973 provides a cause of action for the injury sustained here. CONCLUSION We reverse the trial court’s summary judgment order.
