Ms. Morford rented an apartment from Delores F. Sardam in 1982. Both parties signed a 1-year lease that provided for payment of attorney fees by the tenant to the landlord in any action arising out of the lease. After a year, Ms. Morford remained as a month-to-month tenant. In April 1986, she notified Ms. Sardam of her intent to terminate the tenancy on the last day of that month. Ms. Morford then filed a small claims action seeking return of her $250 rent deposit, damages of $250 resulting from a fall on the property, and miscellaneous costs and expenses, for a total of $983.96. On June 13, 1986, Ms. Sardam filed this action in Spokane County District Court claiming damage to the apartment and cleanup costs of $1,925.74, offset by Ms. Morford's $250 deposit. The two cases were consolidated.
