B 26-0493 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Strengthening Tenant Receivership and Oversight for Neighborhood Growth (STRONG) Homes Amendment Act of 2025

This bill strengthens tenant protections by clarifying and expanding the process for appointing receivers (court-appointed managers) in severely neglected rental properties. It directly affects landlords who fail to maintain habitable conditions (e.g., mold, broken appliances, or utility outages) and tenants in affected buildings. Key provisions include requiring landlords to disclose financial information for receivership costs, adding specific violations as grounds for receivership, and granting receivers authority to manage properties, collect rents, and address safety hazards. The bill also streamlines court procedures for receivership petitions and mandates notice to tenants, utility providers, and mortgage holders. These changes aim to expedite repairs and stabilize housing conditions in District of Columbia properties.
