District of Columbia · 2025-2026 Regular Session
As introduced, Bill 26-228 would expedite transaction timelines involving TOPA, create consequences for bad actors who slow down the process or mislead tenants, and give tenants earlier access to information about their rights and options as well as connect them to tenant support organizations. The legislation would also exempt all new residential construction from TOPA for the first three years and clarify refinancing transactions that are exempt. Provisions of this bill were incorporated into Bill 26-164, RENTAL Act of 2025.
