187 Wn. App. 816, 351 P.3d 214 (2015). Contrary to Tenants’ argument, the court in Pham did not
          allow the tenants to recover under both the RLTA and the SMC for the same underlying violation.
          Instead, the issue was whether the tenants could recover both relocation assistance under SMC
          22.206.260(F) and other relief under the RLTA. 187 Wn. App. at 835. Also critical here, Pham
          interpreted and applied chapter 22.206 SMC and not the provisions in chapter 7.24 SMC at issue
          here. 187 Wn. App. at 835. It is of no moment here that Title 22 SMC does not affect or limit a
          tenant’s rights under the RLTA—as the court held in Pham, citing SMC 22.206.305—because
          Tenants here are not pursuing a claim under that title.
