[WSBARP] Fireplace in rental

[Jan Kelly]

RCW 59.18.060(2): Duties of Landlord

(2) Maintain the structural components including, but not limited to, the
roofs, floors, walls, chimneys, fireplaces, foundations, and all other
structural components, in reasonably good repair so as to be usable;

An argument against being not certified is that the landlord may have a
duty to replace it with a certified one?
