14 DCMR § 14-6907
NOTICE
Operative Text
6907.1 Notice required in section 506(a)(2) of the Act and § 6906.1(b) of this section shall be printed in not less than twelve (12) point type in both English and Spanish and, at a minimum, include the following: (a) The reasons for the receivership; (b) The identity of the receiver and his or her address and telephone number; (c) The receiver's responsibilities and duties; (d) The anticipated duration of the receivership; and. (e) The statement that no tenant is required to move as a result of the receivership.
Under D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 14 et seq. § 14-6907, when a residential property is placed into receivership, a formal notice must be provided to tenants in both English and Spanish, printed in at least 12-point type. That notice must identify the receiver and their contact information, explain the reasons for the receivership, describe the receiver's duties, and state how long the receivership is expected to last. Critically, the notice must explicitly inform tenants that they are not required to vacate their homes as a result of the receivership.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers involved in a receivership proceeding should be aware that § 14-6907 of D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 14 et seq. sets specific formatting and content requirements for the notice that must accompany a receivership. Compliant operators ensure the notice is bilingual (English and Spanish), printed in no smaller than 12-point type, and covers all five required elements, including the receiver's identity and contact details, the reasons for and anticipated duration of the receivership, the receiver's responsibilities, and the statement that tenants need not move. Maintaining documentation that the proper notice was distributed in the required format is a standard practice for demonstrating compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 14 et seq. § 14-6907 gives tenants the right to receive a clearly formatted, bilingual notice whenever their building enters receivership, and that notice must explicitly state that no tenant is required to move as a result of the receivership. If a tenant does not receive a notice meeting these requirements—or receives pressure to vacate in connection with a receivership—that may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants can raise the absence of proper notice as a concern with the District's housing authorities or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available remedies.
