The District of Columbia's rent control law sets limits on the amount and frequency of rent increases—and gives tenants the right to challenge them. But housing providers and tenants first need to know how the law operates, to include understanding the process for preparing and filing annual adjustments of general applicability and vacancy increases.

This workshop is presented by the Rental Accommodations Division (RAD) of the DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) will explain these requirements in detail.

On April 30, housing and disability District Government agencies have partnered to sponsor the 18th Annual DC Fair Housing Symposium, a city-wide event that seeks to raise awareness about fair housing rights and responsibilities.

The symposium sponsors have developed an impressive list of speakers who will relate first-hand accounts of impediments to fair housing, provide research data on the District’s efforts to ameliorate fair housing impediments and provide a guide on how to best use media outlets to tell the fair housing story.
