District of ColumbiaD.C. law set 180-day deadline for rental registrations
The temporary D.C. law set a 180-day registration deadline after a public rent database was completed and required owners of exempt units to report rent history when registering.
What it does
The emergency act set a 180-day deadline for housing providers to file new registrations after the public rent-control database was completed. The act could last no longer than 90 days.
Owners of units exempt from rent control had to report each unit's current monthly rent and its rent in each of the two previous calendar years when registering. They did not have to update those amounts each year.
Argument forA 180-day filing window could give housing providers time to prepare registrations after the public database is completed.
Argument againstFinding two years of rent records for every exempt unit could take owners time when they register.
