The Rental Housing Registration Extension Emergency 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 charged for the same unit during the previous two calendar years at the time of registration.

The new reporting requirement is specified in a newly added paragraph (5), which outlines that this information must be submitted only at the time of registration and will not be subject to ongoing or annual reporting obligations. The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with the emergency provisions of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
