includes provisions prohibited by subsection 7.24.030.B, Section 7.24.035, Section 7.24.036, or
Section 7.24.038 in a new rental agreement, or in a renewal of an existing agreement, shall be
liable to the tenant for up to $3,000 plus reasonable attorney fees and costs.” Unlike SMC
7.24.060(A)(1), which requires an award of statutory damages, SMC 7.24.060(A)(2) requires proof
of actual damages and limits recovery of those damages to “up to $3,000.” The trial court found
that Tenants proved “no actual damages,” and its finding is supported by substantial evidence.
Thus, the trial court correctly denied recovery of both damages and attorney fees under SMC
7.24.060(A)(2). ]
