Certificate of assurance. [Repealed]
Operative Text
Repealed.
D.C. Code § 42-3501.01 et seq. § 42-3502.21, which previously governed certificates of assurance under the District of Columbia's rent regulation framework, has been formally repealed and no longer carries legal force. The provision's repeal means that whatever requirements or procedures it once established are no longer operative under current law. Researchers and practitioners reviewing the D.C. Code should note that this section is a historical artifact rather than an active rule.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in the District of Columbia should be aware that D.C. Code § 42-3502.21, the certificate of assurance provision, has been repealed and imposes no current compliance obligations. Operators who encounter references to this section in older lease documents, regulatory filings, or internal policies should understand that those references point to defunct authority. Staying current with the active provisions of D.C. Code § 42-3501.01 et seq. is a standard practice for compliant property management in the District.
