(Emphasis added.) Arguably, the language of section 17.6 permits a tenant's guest to recover from a landlord directly for breach of an implied warranty of habitability, a statute, or a regulation. But, we recently held that Washington has only *833adopted section 17.6 in cases where a landlord's negligence is alleged by a tenant and that the section has not been adopted in the context of claims by nontenants. Phillips v. Greco, 7 Wash. App. 2d 1, 433 P.3d 509, 511 (2019). Therefore, Gerlach cannot base any duty owed by Cove upon section 17.6.
