How long has rent control been in effect?
How many tenants fall under the protection of the rent control law?
How are rent increases determined under rent control?
What are landlords
entitled to earn under rent control?
What is the
process for tenants seeking to rent an apartment in the District?

about serious housing infractions, such as peeling paint, electrical or
plumbing problems, infestation, or other serious apartment
deficiencies, or problems?
What can tenants do if
they believe they are being subjected to unreasonable rent increases?

TENAC has a four-part mission:
1. We lobby for rent control's survival and improvement in the District;
2. We testify before the Council on all rent control matters;
3. We help form tenant associations throughout the city; and
4. We hold candidate forums at election time.
