[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a violation of the DC Human Rights Act to discriminate in housing due to source of income. Which means that landlords cannot turn away voucher applicants. Landlords cannot cap the number of voucher tenants they accept. What has happened is that once a building reaches a critical mass of voucher tenants, then the market tenants vote with their feet. I work in commercial real estate. Landlords do not want to be forced into becoming DC's public housing providers, when DC has thousands of vacant public housing units that are not being made available due to government mismanagement. A critical mass of voucher tenants results in security issues, damage to the building and units---all resulting in additional operating costs to the LLs. But unless DC is willing to revisit "source of income" as a protected class in discrimination law, DC landlords are stuck.[/quote] This. DC law. The council made it, the council can change it.
