DC Rent Control: Facts You Should Know

**Important Note: Sole Proprietor Owner(s) of four or fewer properties are typically exempt from Rent Control. Properties owned by Corporations, Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), Partnerships and some Trust are automatically bound to Rent Control no matter how few or many the entity may own. Some trust may be exempt from rent control depending on circumstance. Typically to qualify a property must first be registered by the Sole Proprietor and registered as exempt. If you have questions regarding your ownership type and whether you are subject to or exempt from Rent Control we suggest you seek competent legal advice or call the Department of Housing: Rental Accommodations Division. **

In DC, Rent Control is typically the most important issue to Landlords especially when applying for the DC Rental Property License. It is by far the subject that we get the most questions about. We typically do not give advice in this matter as we are not legal counselors and would not want to give the best and most up to date information. However, we found a handy brochure explaining the basics of Rent Control and published by the Department of Housing. For those of you who need it we hope you will find it to be useful.
