Rent Control Compliance Software:
Our RCC software is an expert system in the D.C. Rent Control law. It knows the law inside out
so you don't have to. At the heart of our database is a Rent Charged History that tracks all changes to
each unit's rent charged. A Rent History is a consolidated snapshot of every change in rent charged from every
filing that has been made on each unit.
Expert Features:
- Vacancies/Rent Quotes:
Under the law, you can increase the rent charged of a unit upon a tenant vacancy. You are allowed a 10% Vacancy Increase for a new move-in if the previous tenant occupied the unit for 10 years or less; and 20% if the previous tenant occupied the unit for more than 10 years. When using RCC, you would enter the Vacancy Date, Move In date, and whether the previous tenant has occupied the unit for more than 10 years. The software will then calculate the maximum rent allowed for that specific unit. The software is programmed to not allow to take more than one Vacancy Increase in any 12-month period
- Annual CPI's: Every year the District publishes a Consumer Price Index percentage that can be used to
increase a unit's rent charged. Once this percentage is known, we can input into RCC and apply a CPI Based increase
to all tenants who qualify. Qualifying units are units that have not had a rent charged increase within one year.
After applying the CPI Based rent charged increase to qualifying units, all Rent Histories are updated. We then produce
rent increase notices based on the CPI increases.
- Disclosure Of Basis Of Rent Charged: Any time you move in a tenant you must produce a Disclosure of Basis
of Rent Charged form that shows the last three years of rent charged increases. You are required to provide this to the
tenant within 15 days of move-in. You are also required to produce this form within 10 days if an existing tenant asks you
for one.
- Applicant Disclosure Form: Under the law, whenever a prospective tenant applies for a unit you must provide them
with a disclosure form. The disclosure form is an extensive disclosure of information by the housing provider to the
tenant. Some of the items that must be disclosed are; Applicable rent charged for the rental unit; Any petitions
pending that could affect the rental unit; Any surcharges (rent increases that will subsequently be rescinded) in effect;
The allowable frequency of increases in rent charged; The rent-controlled or exempt status of the housing accommodation
plus copies of the business license, Registration/Claim of Exemption form, and most recent Notice of Change relating
to change of ownership, management, or services and facilities; Housing Violation Notices for last twelve months or
still outstanding; Pamphlet published by the Rent Administrator explaining the Act; Application fee, security deposit,
interest on security deposit and return of deposit; Status of housing accommodation as condominium, cooperative or
non-housing use; Owner(s) of the housing accommodation.
