The court also considered the effect of the lease clause quoted supra by which appellants purport to relieve themselves of liability for water damage. After weighing public policy considerations and the effect of § 2912 of the Housing Regulations of the District of Columbia the court concluded that "[i]nsofar as the lease in question purports to nullify the implied warranty of habitability which is imported into every rental agreement, it is ineffective as a matter of law. . . . [I]t appears that the very inclusion of the paragraph in the lease violates section 2912."
