B 25-0858 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Voluntary Agreement Moratorium Temporary Amendment Act of 2024

This bill temporarily extends a moratorium on voluntary agreements in the District of Columbia until January 1, 2025. It directly affects landlords and tenants by preventing the use of these specific legal contracts to terminate rental leases during this period. The law achieves this by amending the Rental Housing Act of 1985 to update the expiration date of the existing ban. The measure will remain in effect for 225 days after it is signed into law.
