Anderson and Bussell next contend that retaliatory eviction is an equitable defense allowed by RCW 59.18.400 even if RCW 59.18.240 does not expressly prohibit the landlord's conduct in this case. They rely upon the last sentence of RCW 59.18.400 which states that "[t]he defendant in his answer may assert any legal or equitable defense or set-off arising out of the tenancy." Similar language appears in the first sentence of RCW 59.18.380.
