14 DCMR § 14-2199
DEFINITIONS
Operative Text
2199.1 The provisions of § 1799 and the definitions set forth in that section shall be incorporated by reference in this section.
Section 14-2199 of the D.C. Municipal Regulations establishes that the definitions and provisions already set out in § 1799 of the same title are carried over and apply equally within this section. Rather than restating those terms, the regulation incorporates them by reference, meaning the two sections share a common definitional framework. Any term defined in § 1799 carries the same meaning when it appears in the rules governed by § 14-2199.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under D.C. housing regulations should be aware that § 14-2199 draws its core definitions directly from § 1799, so understanding the terminology in that earlier section is essential for interpreting obligations that fall under § 14-2199. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the full set of definitions in § 1799 to ensure consistent application across both sections. Reviewing both provisions together provides a complete picture of the regulatory vocabulary in use.

Tenants whose housing situations are governed by § 14-2199 should know that the definitions shaping their rights and protections under this section come from § 1799, which is incorporated by reference. Understanding the terms defined in § 1799 can help clarify what specific words mean when they appear in rules that affect rental housing in the District of Columbia. Tenant-rights organizations in D.C. can help explain how these shared definitions apply in practice.
