¶17 We also find that the Tenants’ claim for relocation assistance was properly raised in this action. An unlawful detainer action is a limited statutory proceeding to resolve the right to possession between the landlord and the tenant. Ch. 59.12 RCW; Munden, 105 Wn.2d at 45. The law draws a distinction between possession and the right of possession. Kessler v. Nielsen, 3 Wn. App. 120, 126, 472 P.2d 616 (1970). Once an unlawful detainer action is commenced and the defendant does not concede the right to possession, he or she has the right to have the issue determined. Hous. Auth. v. Pleasant, 126 Wn. App. 382, 389, 109 P.3d 422 (2005).
