3 The Court of Appeals relied in large part on White River Estates v. Hiltbruner, 134
          Wn.2d 761, 953 P.2d 796 (1998). In that case, however, we held that when a statute is
          silent about the damages available for its violation, emotional distress damages are
          available only if the statutory violation requires conduct amounting to an intentional tort,
          as opposed to mere negligence. !d. at 766. White River Estates' intentional-versus-
          negligent test does not apply to the RL TA, which explicitly describes the damages
          recoverable for a landlord's violation. See RCW 59.18.085(3)(e).
