125 Wash. 250, 215 P. 372 (1923). We are precluded from following the lead of courts in other jurisdictions and allowing this defense as a matter of public policy. Those decisions either occurred in the context of no legislative guidance or legislation which did not limit the definition of retaliatory eviction. See, e.g., Edwards v. Habib, 397 F.2d 687 (D.C. Cir. 1968), cert. denied, 393 U.S. 1016, 21 L. Ed. 2d 560, 89 S. Ct. 618 (1969); Schweiger v. Superior Court, 3 Cal. 3d 507, 476 P.2d 97, 90 Cal. Rptr. 729 (1970); Portnoy v. Hill, 57 Misc. 2d 1097, 294 N.Y.S.2d 278 (1968). See also Sims v. Century Kiest Apartments,
