Text
The Council finds that, despite the fact that the District has some of the most comprehensive pro-tenant laws in the United States:
(1)Tenants in the District are under-informed of their rights.
(2)It is difficult for tenants to obtain information.
(3)Tenants cannot usually afford legal representation.
(4)Tenants are under-informed about dispute mediation and adjudication options available to tenants in the District through the courts and through the Office of the Attorney General.
(5)Few tenants have time for self-advocacy because of their full-time employment.
(6)Tenants in the District need an independent Chief Tenant Advocate to act on their behalf as repository of information and resources to help guide tenants through the landlord-tenant system in the District
