Extreme Heat Eviction Protection Amendment Act of 2024
This bill amends Washington, D.C.'s Rental Housing Act to prevent landlords from evicting tenants on days when the National Weather Service predicts temperatures will exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The law specifically targets the legal grounds for eviction, adding a new provision that prohibits such actions on any day the forecast at National Airport reaches this heat threshold. By modifying the existing eviction code, the measure directly affects housing providers and renters in the District during periods of extreme heat.
