The Rental Housing Registration Extension Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 amends section 205(f) of the Rental Housing Act of 1985 to extend the deadline for housing providers to file a new registration statement from 90 days to 180 days after the completion of the publicly accessible rent control housing database. This change is reflected in multiple paragraphs of the existing law, where the number 90 is replaced with 180. Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for owners of rental accommodations that are exempt from rent stabilization to report both the current rent amount and the rent amounts charged for the same unit during the previous two calendar years at the time of registration.

The new reporting requirement aims to enhance transparency in the rental market while ensuring that the registration process is more accommodating for housing providers. The information regarding rent amounts will only need to be submitted at the time of registration, eliminating any ongoing or annual reporting obligations. The act is set to take effect following approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period, and it will expire 225 days after its enactment.
