*553Based on the foregoing three reasons, we perceive the intent of the Legislature to have been that residential landlord-tenant problems not be included within the Consumer Protection Act, RCW 19.86, either directly through that act or indirectly through means of the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act of 1973, RCW 59.18, and the per se doctrine.35 Neither the statutory direction to liberally construe the Consumer Protection Act36 nor the right to resort to remedies "otherwise provided by law"37 as expressed in the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act of 1973, justify the judicial extension of a remedy at odds with a clearly demonstrated legislative intent to the contrary. Thus, the trial court erred in holding as it did.
