The district court awarded Tenants attorney’s fees in the amount of $180,029.50, based on an attorney’s fees provision contained in their leases. California Civil Code § 1717(a) authorizes reasonable attorney’s fees “[i]n any action on a contract, where the contract specifically provides that attorney’s fees and costs, which are incurred to enforce the contract, shall be awarded either to one of the parties or to the prevailing party.” The provision is interpreted liberally.
