Home in Burleith
Most property owners who rent out the English basement of their home are not too worried about whether or not it is registered with the DC Department of Consumer & Regulatory Affairs (DCRA). Well, amateur landlords in Burleith may want to think about registering.
DCRA recently received a list of 134 properties from a coalition of Burleith neighborhood groups who spent two months (yes, two months) walking the neighborhood identifying what they believe are illegal rentals. Using DCRA’s Property Information Verification System, the groups entered in property addresses that they believed had illegal rentals to see if the property was registered.
From the DCRA blog:
“We have sent letters to each of the property owners identified on the list asking them to please respond. If you are renting your property, please contact us immediately and we can assist you in getting your property licensed and, most importantly, inspected. We will not assess fines if you voluntarily come in and begin the licensing and inspection process.”
If the home owners do not respond within 15 days, DCRA will send investigators to the property. If it is determined that an illegal rental is being operated, the property owner will be fined.
