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 Wash.App. 464, 471, 17 P.3d 641 (2001). Other jurisdictions allow a tenant's cause of action arising from statutory duties under its 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.
