---- http://dhcd.dc.gov/service/rent-control http://dhcd.dc.gov/service/rent-control The most common exemptions from rent control are for rental units that are: - Federally or District-subsidized - Built after 1975 - Owned by a natural person (i.e., not a corporation) who owns no more than four rental units in the District - Vacant when the Act took effect ----- To be clear, DC has an extremely tenant friendly set of laws. But the rent control is basically just a legacy of an earlier era.
