TANAKA, Judge.

Appellants Anthony and Paula Rodrigues (collectively Landlords), who obtained a judgment against appellees Joe and Evonne Chan (collectively Tenants), complain that the district court erred in failing to award Landlords prejudgment interest and in computing attorney's fees under Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 607-14 (1976).1 We affirm as to prejudgment interest, but reverse and remand as to attorney's fees.
