Because the trial court clearly erred for the reasons described, we need not determine whether the trial court also abused its discretion where, Wadsworth asserts, the court failed to weigh the equities in the case. This issue involves questions of fact that are not easily resolved on appeal. However, we note that a trial court clearly has discretion to resolve an unlawful detainer action on equitable grounds. Equitable defenses may be raised in an unlawful detainer action. Josephinium Assocs. v. Kahli, 111 Wn. App. 617, 624, 45 P.3d 627 (2002); see also RCW 59.18.380.
