D.C. Code tit. 42 § 42-3651.08
Final Accounting.
Operative Text
Within 30 calendar days after termination of a receivership, the receiver shall give the Court a complete accounting of all property with which he or she has been entrusted, all funds collected, and all expenses incurred.
Under D.C. Code § 42-3651.01 et seq. § 42-3651.08, when a court-appointed receivership over a rental property ends, the receiver is required to submit a full financial accounting to the court within 30 calendar days. This accounting must cover all property entrusted to the receiver, all funds collected during the receivership, and all expenses incurred. The provision creates a formal close-out mechanism ensuring judicial oversight of how the receiver managed the property and its finances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners whose buildings have been subject to a receivership under D.C. Code § 42-3651.01 et seq. § 42-3651.08 should be aware that the receiver—not the owner—bears the obligation to file this final accounting with the court. Compliant operators generally maintain thorough records throughout any receivership period so that the transition back to owner control is well-documented and any discrepancies in the receiver's accounting can be identified. Reviewing the final accounting once it is submitted to the court can help owners understand the financial state of the property at the close of the receivership.

D.C. Code § 42-3651.01 et seq. § 42-3651.08 gives tenants an indirect form of protection by requiring the receiver to account publicly to the court for all money collected and spent during the receivership. Tenants may be able to review the court-filed accounting as part of the public record, which can shed light on how rent payments and repair expenditures were handled. Tenant-rights organizations in the District of Columbia can help residents understand how to access court records or raise concerns about the accounting with the court.
