Under section 206(b) and 208(h) of the Act (D.C. OFFICIAL CODE §§ 42-3502.06(b) & 42-
3502.08(h)(2) (Supp. 2008), the increase in rent charged is based on the increase in the Consumer Price
Index (CPI-W). For tenants qualified under the Act as elderly or disabled, the maximum increase in rent
charged is the lesser of the CPI-W percentage, or 5% of the current allowable rent changed. For other
tenants, the maximum percentage increase in rent charged is the CPI-W percentage plus 2%, but the
total increase shall not be more than 10% of the current allowable rent charged. The Rental Housing
Commission (RHC) determines the annual adjustment of general applicability in the rent charged
established by Section 206(b) for each Rental Unit, which shall be equal to the change during the
previous calendar year in the Washington, D.C. Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA)
Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The CPI-W percentage
published by the Rental Housing Commission for May 20___ through April 20___ is _________%.
Alternatively, a housing provider may seek an allowable rent adjustment under other provisions of
the Act, including petitions based on capital improvements, changes in services and/or facilities,
hardship, substantial rehabilitation or voluntary agreement with 70% of the tenants.
