[quote=Anonymous][quote=sarah1513][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what good would come of telling him explicitly. I definitely would not expect it to effect the rent in a favorable way, especially if he's not the warm and fuzzy type. Does occupancy law override something specifically address in the lease you signed?[/quote]

+1. I would be sure that the DC tenancy laws do in fact apply given that they are specifically counter to the lease you signed. [/quote]

Agreed. I have a call in to the office of the Tenant Advocate to double check.

Really, I'm thinking that the language in the lease is truly just the "fill in the blank template" that the management company uses for every lease and they plug in the number of tenants on the lease and move on.

Also, our lease also specifically says we had to get permission and pay a $300 deposit to get a pet and when we went to pay the deposit for our dog (after already having gotten permission) he was like "what? you don't need to pay me, I trust you."

We're planning to tell him because it seems really weird and like we're hiding something for him not to know. And I'm hoping maybe it will make him feel guilty about giving us a significant rent increase when I know that it's not really merited by the market etc.[/quote]
