D.C. Code tit. 42 § 42-3502.03d
Housing provider online filing requirements.
Operative Text
Upon completion of the publicly accessible rent control housing database created pursuant to § 42-3502.03c , a housing provider shall use the online housing provider portal developed pursuant to § 42-3502.03c(b)(1) to file all documents and data required to be filed pursuant to this subchapter and all regulations promulgated pursuant to this subchapter .
Under D.C. Code § 42-3501.01 et seq. § 42-3502.03d, once the District's publicly accessible rent control housing database is operational, housing providers are required to submit all rent-control-related documents and data exclusively through the designated online portal rather than through paper or other filing methods. This requirement applies to every document and dataset mandated by the rent control subchapter and its associated regulations. The provision ties the filing obligation to the completion of the database described in § 42-3502.03c.
Plain English — not legal advice.
D.C. Code § 42-3501.01 et seq. § 42-3502.03d requires housing providers to transition all required rent-control filings to the online housing provider portal once the publicly accessible rent control housing database established under § 42-3502.03c is complete. Compliant operators generally monitor official District communications for the database's launch date, register for portal access in advance, and ensure that every document and dataset required under the rent control subchapter is submitted exclusively through that portal going forward. Maintaining organized digital records of all filings made through the portal is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate compliance.

D.C. Code § 42-3501.01 et seq. § 42-3502.03d establishes that, after the District's rent control housing database goes live, housing providers must use the official online portal for all required rent-control filings, which means tenants may be able to access or verify those filings through the publicly accessible database described in § 42-3502.03c. If a housing provider appears to be filing required documents outside the portal or not filing at all, tenants can note this as a potential compliance issue when engaging with the District's rent control authorities. Tenant-rights organizations in the District can help explain what filings are required and what remedies may be available when a housing provider fails to meet its obligations under this provision.
