Will my rent go up?

Possibly. Under DC law, landlords can raise the rent each year to keep pace with inflation. For most tenants, this increase will be at least the Consumer Price Index (CPI) percentage plus 2 percentage points (the increase for tenants who qualify as elderly – defined as at least 62 years old – or disabled may be less). If a landlord wants to increase the rent more than this, he/she must provide a justification to DC officials.
