District of Columbia · 2025-2026 Regular Session
As introduced, Bill 26-141 would allow housing providers to file for an expedited eviction where the tenant or occupant has engaged in or facilitated violent criminal activity on the premises. It would also give the court discretion to dismiss a complaint that does not allege sufficient facts or where the person aggrieved has not produced sufficient documentation. It entitles plaintiffs to a protective order where defendant is required to deposit rent in the Superior Court’s registry.
