What Does the RENTAL Act Mean for DC’s Housing Market?

Join DCBIA for a critical educational session breaking down the RENTAL Act of 2025—the most significant housing legislation passed in the District in years.

Passed in response to the city’s housing affordability and investment crisis, the RENTAL Act is a major first move to rebalance the housing ecosystem, modernizing policies like TOPA and reforming the eviction processes to restore predictability.

This event is designed to focus on immediate implementation and the practical application of pending regulations for your current properties and those in the pipeline. Understanding these operational changes early is essential for maximizing future housing production, preservation, and capital flows.

The discussion will provide a real-time briefing on the legal and practical implications of the new law, covering Investment & Predictability (how the 15-year TOPA exemption will attract private investment), Modernization & Clarity (clarified definitions and streamlined processes), Housing Stability & Operations (reforms to eviction timelines and the new rent registry process), and Affordability Preservation (protecting existing commitments and the need for future policies that support mission-driven housing).
