D.C. Code tit. 30, ch. 2 § 30-201.05
The Mayor shall establish by rulemaking the procedures for suspension, revocation, and other licensing sanctions for violation of this subchapter .
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under D.C. Code § 30-201.01 et seq. § 30-201.05, the Mayor of the District of Columbia is directed to create formal rules governing how short-term rental license endorsements can be suspended, revoked, or otherwise sanctioned when operators violate the subchapter. This provision does not itself spell out the specific grounds or timelines for sanctions, but instead delegates that detail to the rulemaking process. The result is a regulatory framework where licensing consequences for noncompliance are defined through officially adopted administrative rules.

For Property Managers

Operators holding a short-term rental license endorsement in the District should be aware that D.C. Code § 30-201.01 et seq. § 30-201.05 authorizes the Mayor to set binding rules on suspension, revocation, and other licensing sanctions. Compliant operators generally stay current with any rules promulgated under this authority, since violations of the subchapter can trigger formal licensing consequences. Reviewing the District's adopted rulemaking under this provision helps property managers understand what conduct may put a license endorsement at risk.

For Tenants

D.C. Code § 30-201.01 et seq. § 30-201.05 gives the Mayor authority to establish procedures for sanctioning short-term rental operators who violate the subchapter, including suspending or revoking their license endorsements. Tenants or neighbors who believe a short-term rental operator is operating in violation of District rules may have grounds to raise those concerns through the District's administrative complaint process once the Mayor's rules are in place. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or the District's relevant licensing authority can help individuals understand what enforcement options may be available under the adopted rules.
