¶20 In Hertz, the Hertzes agreed to buy an apartment complex from the Riebes and signed an earnest money agreement that gave the Riebes $1,000 earnest money. Hertz, 86 Wn. App. at 104. The earnest money agreement provided for attorney fees to the prevailing party based on the agreement. Hertz, 86 Wn. App. at 104. The Hertzes refused to purchase the property, alleging that the Riebes misrepresented material facts. Hertz, 86 Wn. App. at 104. The Hertzes filed action to recover their earnest money, and the Reibes filed a separate action to recover lost rent. Hertz, 86 Wn. App. at 104. The cases were consolidated, and the superior court found that the Hertzes were entitled to their earnest money and that the Riebes were entitled to reasonable rent money. Hertz, 86 Wn.
