1,233 charsMs. Morford answered and counterclaimed, alleging defects in the premises that caused flooding in the apartment and injury to Ms. Morford, retaliatory action by Ms. Sardam, trespass, failure to return the security deposit, and breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment and of the implied warranty of habitability. Ms. Morford sought damages for emotional distress, personal injury and property damage. After trial, the court ruled Ms. Sardam had substantially complied with RCW 59.18.280 (regarding return of the security deposit); Ms. Sardam had not trespassed on the property; and Ms. Morford had failed to prove personal *910 injury or emotional distress, and there was insufficient evidence of property damage. However, the court also ruled Ms. Sardam had failed to demonstrate damage to the apartment other than ordinary wear and tear. As a result, the court ruled Ms. Morford was entitled to return of her damage deposit, offset by $164, an amount provided in the lease for normal cleaning expenses. The court entered a judgment for Ms. Morford in the amount of $86, together with costs of $10. The court considered, but declined to award, attorney fees to Ms. Morford, holding that the award of attorney fees is discretionary.
