D.C. Code tit. 42 § 42-3404.15
TOPA transparency portal. [Not Funded]
Operative Text
Not Funded.
D.C. Code § 42-3401.01 et seq. § 42-3404.15 establishes a provision called the TOPA Transparency Portal, which was intended to create a publicly accessible resource related to the District of Columbia's Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act. However, the provision carries a 'Not Funded' designation, meaning the legislature authorized the concept but did not appropriate the money needed to implement it. As a result, the portal described in this section does not currently exist or operate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under the District's Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act should be aware that D.C. Code § 42-3401.01 et seq. § 42-3404.15, which would have created a TOPA Transparency Portal, has not been funded and is therefore not in effect. Compliant operators continue to meet their TOPA obligations through existing channels and disclosure requirements rather than through any portal created by this section. Staying current with D.C. Council budget actions is a common practice for operators who want to know if this provision's funding status changes.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
D.C. Code § 42-3401.01 et seq. § 42-3404.15 describes a TOPA Transparency Portal that was designed to give tenants easier access to information about their purchase rights under the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act, but the provision is marked 'Not Funded,' so no such portal has been established. Tenants seeking information about their TOPA rights should look to other existing resources, such as the D.C. Office of the Tenant Advocate or local tenant-rights organizations, since this section does not currently provide an operational tool. Monitoring future D.C. budget cycles is one way to track whether funding for this provision is eventually appropriated.
