discretion when its decision is manifestly unreasonable or based on

untenable grounds.40
Here, the lease provides for attorney fees and costs to the

prevailing party. In determining the appropriate amount, the trial court

apparently took into consideration not only Hall's request but also

Feigenbaum's objection to the inclusion of fees associated with vacated

judgments. We hold that Hall was entitled to attorney fees as a matter of

law and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in its award.

Hall requests fees on appeal. A contract providing for an award of

attorney fees at trial also supports such an award on appeal. Hall is the

prevailing party in this appeal. Subject to his compliance with RAP 18.1,

we award Hall his attorney fees on appeal in an amount to be determined

by a commissioner of this court.

Affirmed.
