D.C. Code tit. 42 § 42-3509.09
Restrictions on tobacco smoking. [Repealed]
Operative Text
Repealed.
Section 42-3509.09 of the D.C. Code, which was part of the District of Columbia's Rental Housing Act (D.C. Code § 42-3501.01 et seq.), has been formally repealed and is no longer in effect. A repealed provision carries no current legal force, meaning the rules it once contained no longer govern conduct under this statute. Any obligations, rights, or restrictions that may have existed under this section are no longer operative as a matter of current law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers in the District of Columbia should be aware that § 42-3509.09, which previously addressed restrictions on tobacco smoking in the rental housing context, has been repealed. Because the provision is no longer in effect, it does not create enforceable obligations under D.C. Code § 42-3501.01 et seq. Operators seeking guidance on any current smoking-related requirements in rental housing should look to other applicable District laws or regulations that remain in force.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants in the District of Columbia should know that § 42-3509.09, once part of the Rental Housing Act under D.C. Code § 42-3501.01 et seq., has been repealed and no longer provides a basis for rights or complaints under that section. Because the provision is no longer active law, it cannot be raised as a defense or the basis of a complaint tied to this specific citation. Tenants with concerns about smoking policies in their rental housing may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization to identify what other current District laws or lease provisions might apply.
