       The Harrisons were obligated to learn and comply with the law. Any attempt to cast
blame on their realtor is a separate matter between them. Furthermore, the court rejects the
Harrisons’ argument that they would have received a certificate of compliance if they had sought
one. This court cannot allow landlords to violate the law and then prove afterwards that their
non-compliance was harmless. The Eliasons are entitled to judgment as a matter of law that the
Harrisons violated the Consumer Protection Act in offering a rental that did not comply with
BCO 18-15, 18-16, and 18-18.
