Local Ordinance. Evict Violent Tenants. No Rent Raising.

What’s happening? The District of Columbia passed an ordinance that will allow landlords to evict violent tenants but prohibit rent increases.

Why is this important? D.C. is stepping back from its pandemic-related tenant protections 

How will this be important? The standard DC adopts is key- whether a tenant poses a physical risk to others. Does your state protect against violent neighbors?
