Our Top Picks for Rent Control Apartments in DC

Can I get a rent-controlled apartment in DC?

Rent control apartments can be rented by anyone, and the rent increases are usually low and predictable. This is because the annual adjustment is based on the Consumer Price Index {CPI} plus somewhere between 2%-10% of your rent. The combination of CPI + the % increase can never exceed 10% total. The law also sets that the landlord may only increase your rent once in any 12-month period. So, if in 2022 your rent was $1500 upon your anniversary/lease renewal, your rent could have a maximum increase of $93. Because the CPI was 4.2% and the city allowed an additional 2% increase, your rent would be $1593 upon renewal.
