The LIHTC Rent Stabilization Exemption Clarification Temporary 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. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 205(a)(1) of the Rental Housing Act by deleting the existing phrase and inserting new language that explicitly includes any rental unit for which the housing provider receives tax credits under the LIHTC program.

This legislation is designed to provide clarity regarding the status of LIHTC properties in relation to rent stabilization, ensuring that these units are not subject to the same regulations as other rental properties. The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and a subsequent 30-day congressional review period, with a temporary expiration set for 225 days after its enactment.
