         Washington is not alone in abandoning caveat emptor in favor of recognizing an
implied warranty of habitability for residential rental property. See, e.g., Young v.
Garwacki, 380 Mass. 162, 168, 402 N.E.2d 1045, 1049 (1980) (“In the line of cases
creating and applying the implied warranty of habitability, we have overthrown the
doctrine of caveat emptor.” (citing Berman & Sons, Inc. v. Jefferson, 379 Mass. 196, 396
N.E.2d 981 (1979))). -23-
