This bill extends a temporary requirement for landlords in the District of Columbia to offer rent payment plans to eligible tenants who faced financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Eligible tenants include residential renters and small commercial tenants who notified their landlords of an inability to pay full rent because of the public health emergency. If a landlord denies a payment plan application, the tenant can file a complaint with the appropriate District agency for review.
