[WSBARP] Civil Action for Unpaid Rents

[Mark Anderson]

Listmates:

RCW 59.18.625(1) provides that a "landlord may not charge or impose any late fees or other charges against any tenant for the nonpayment of rent that became due between March 1, 2020, and six months following the expiration of the eviction moratorium."

I understand this would preclude the imposition of late charges but, in a civil action, would it also preclude an award of prejudgment interest on the unpaid rents as sums certain?
