                Liquidated damages clauses in contracts are sums of money agreed upon in advance
       as a reasonable forecast of just compensation for the harm caused by breach. Minnick v.
       Clearwire U.S. LLC, 174 Wn.2d 443, 449, 275 P.3d 1127 (2012). While the RLTA does not
       specifically prohibit liquidated damages, a landlord cannot pursue lost rent and damages for
       abandonment of a lease under RCW 58.19.310(1), in addition to liquidated damages for the same
       losses.
