The LIHTC Rent Stabilization Exemption Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the District of Columbia Rental Housing Act of 1985 by clarifying that rental units participating in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program are exempt from the Rent Stabilization Program. This change is intended to provide clearer guidelines regarding the status of these rental units under current housing regulations.

Specifically, the bill modifies Section 205(a)(1) of the Rental Housing Act by deleting the existing phrase and inserting a new definition that includes any rental unit for which the housing provider receives tax credits under the LIHTC program. This amendment is designed to ensure that properties benefiting from the LIHTC program are not subject to rent stabilization, thereby promoting the availability of affordable housing options. The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days.
