The Rental Housing Registration Extension Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 proposes to amend the Rental Housing Act of 1985 by extending the deadline for housing providers to file a new registration statement from 90 days to 180 days following the completion of the publicly accessible rent control housing database. This change is reflected in multiple sections of the 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 charged for the same unit during the previous two calendar years at the time of registration.

The new reporting requirement is designed to enhance transparency in the rental market while ensuring that the information is only submitted at the time of registration, without imposing ongoing or annual reporting obligations. This amendment aims to streamline the registration process for housing providers and improve the availability of rental data for regulatory purposes. The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with emergency legislation procedures.
