¶29 Landlords request attorney fees pursuant to RAP 18.1. Suppl. Br. of Resp’ts at 19. The RLTA provides that “the prevailing party [in an unlawful detainer action regarding a holdover tenant] may recover his or her costs of suit.. . and reasonable attorney’s fees.” RCW 59.18.290(2). Both the superior court and the Court of Appeals awarded attorney fees to Landlords under the RLTA.11 CP at 245; Faciszewski, 192 Wn. App. at 455. Landlords do not prevail under our interpretation of the JCEO, and we thus deny their request and reverse the award of fees below.
