Under D.C. Code § 42-3401.01 et seq. § 42-3403.03, when a rental housing accommodation is converted into a condominium or cooperative, the Mayor of the District of Columbia is required to provide relocation assistance to tenants who qualify as low-income. The form and manner of that assistance is governed by the standards set out in D.C. Code § 6-333.01. This provision establishes a government obligation triggered by the conversion event itself, not by any action the tenant must initiate.

Property owners and managers pursuing a condominium or cooperative conversion under D.C. Code § 42-3401.01 et seq. § 42-3403.03 should be aware that the District government carries a statutory duty to provide relocation assistance to qualifying low-income tenants displaced by such conversions. Compliant operators typically account for this obligation during the conversion planning process and cooperate with any District-administered relocation programs that may be activated. Understanding how § 6-333.01 defines the required services can help operators anticipate the procedural steps the Mayor's office may undertake in connection with a conversion.
