        Ms. Lynch points to a document in which a previous tenant complained of a
rodent infestation, but she has not identified any applicable exception to the rule
against hearsay, and we understand the trial court to have concluded that there was
no admissible evidence of a previous infestation.

        Some housing code provisions hold the owner of a rental unit responsible
for remedying a mouse infestation, such as 14 D.C.M.R. § 805.3, which states, “[i]f
an infestation of a single habitation is caused by failure of the owner or licensee to
maintain a residential building in a rodent-proof or reasonably insect-proof
condition, the exterminating shall be done by the owner or licensee.”
