[quote=sarah1513][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would he not raise your rent because you are having children? It is business. Also why does he need to know? I have no clue what is going on in my tenants' lives which is fine with me. [/quote]

Unless the tenants exceed the occupancy law for the unit and i believe in dc you area allowed

Space: At least 70 square feet is required for each room used for sleeping by one tenant over 1 year old. For rooms used by 2 or more tenants for sleeping, there must be at least 50 square feet for each tenant. Under the DC Human Rights Act (not the Housing Code), it may be considered unlawful discrimination if a landlord tries to evict a family with children in order to limit the number of tenants living in the apartment. For purposes of the Human Rights Act, in general up to 2 persons are allowed in an efficiency, 3 persons in a one bedroom, 5 persons in a two bedroom, and 7 persons in a three bedroom.[/quote]

Right, that is what I found as well, which tells me the underlying law is on our side in terms of occupancy limits. [/quote]
