D.C. Code tit. 30, ch. 2 § 30-201.11
Rules.
Operative Text
Except as provided in §§ 30-201.05 and 30-201.06(f)(5) , the Mayor, pursuant to subchapter I of Chapter 5 of Title 2 , may issue rules to implement the provisions of this subchapter .
D.C. Code § 30-201.11 grants the Mayor of the District of Columbia authority to issue administrative rules that put the provisions of this subchapter into practical effect, subject to the standard rulemaking procedures set out in D.C.'s Administrative Procedure Act. Two specific sections—§§ 30-201.05 and 30-201.06(f)(5)—are carved out and not subject to this rulemaking grant. This means the regulatory framework governing the subject matter of this subchapter can be fleshed out through official rules without requiring new legislation each time.

Property owners and managers operating under this subchapter should be aware that D.C. Code § 30-201.11 empowers the Mayor to issue binding administrative rules that can expand or clarify the subchapter's requirements. Compliant operators generally monitor the D.C. Register for newly issued rules promulgated under this authority, since those rules carry the same legal weight as the underlying statute. Staying current with any rulemaking activity ensures that operational practices remain aligned with the most up-to-date regulatory requirements.

D.C. Code § 30-201.11 means that the rules affecting your housing situation under this subchapter may be shaped not only by the statute itself but also by administrative rules the Mayor issues over time. Tenants can review rules issued under this authority through the D.C. Register or the Office of Documents and Administrative Issuances to understand the full scope of applicable requirements. Tenant-rights organizations in the District can help explain how any rules issued under § 30-201.11 may affect rights and available complaint or enforcement pathways.
