The Consumer Protection Act is a particularly appropriate vehicle for enforcing the provisions of the residential landlord-tenant act where their violation affects the public interest of this state in ensuring safe and sanitary housing. The remedies which are available under the Consumer Protection Act are in addition to, and may be considered together with, any other available remedies. MacCormack v. Robins Constr., 11 Wn. App. 80, 82, 521 P.2d 761 (1974). See also State v. Ralph Williams' Northwest Chrysler Plymouth, Inc., 82 Wn.2d 265, 510 P.2d 233, 59 A.L.R.3d 1209 (1973). The Act's treble damages and attorney fees provisions are encouragement for low income tenants to seek redress under the Act. The injunctive provisions may be used to protect other tenants similarly situated.
