14 DCMR § 14-2105
OTHER PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Operative Text
2105.1 All contracts executed under the lease in-place program shall be subject to applicable requirements of the Tenant Assistance Program in chapter 19 of this title including, but not limited to, §§ 1920 through 1922, 1927 through 1933, 1936, and 1937, to the extent consistent with the requirements of this chapter. 2105.2 Tenants who move from a property participating in the lease in-place program shall be allowed to continue to receive assistance under the Tenant Assistance Program only if the move is in accordance with § 1927 of chapter 19 of this title. 2105.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of §§ 2101, 2102 and 2103, following the first invitation for and receipt of applications as outlined in those sections, DCHA may elect to use an alternative method for the invitation, submission and selection of applications under the lease in-place program; provided, that the alternative method is a fair and equitable process for application and selection of applications. 2105.4 DCHA shall be required to give adequate public notice of all aspects of any alternative method concerning the submission and selection of applications with the public notice for application.
D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 14 § 14-2105 establishes that the lease in-place program operates within the broader framework of the Tenant Assistance Program, incorporating requirements from chapter 19 of title 14. Tenants who relocate while participating in the program may only carry their rental assistance with them if the move meets the conditions set out in § 1927. The District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) retains flexibility to adopt alternative application and selection methods after the initial round, as long as those methods are fair, equitable, and publicly announced.

Property owners participating in the lease in-place program under § 14-2105 are generally expected to comply with the full range of applicable Tenant Assistance Program requirements referenced in chapter 19, including sections governing contract terms and tenant eligibility. Operators should be aware that DCHA may change its application and selection procedures after the first round, and that any such changes will be accompanied by adequate public notice. Staying informed about DCHA announcements helps owners understand how updated procedures may affect their participation in the program.

Under § 14-2105, tenants receiving assistance through the lease in-place program retain certain protections drawn from the broader Tenant Assistance Program in chapter 19 of title 14. If a tenant needs to move from a participating property, continued assistance is only available when the move complies with § 1927, so understanding those conditions is important. Tenants who have questions about their eligibility or how a move might affect their benefits may wish to contact DCHA directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
