These consolidated appeals relate to the Eldon, a 57-unit apartment building located at 933 L Street, N.W., in the District of Columbia. Residents of this building formed a tenants’ association which sued Independent Management Company (“IMC”) for selling the Eldon without first offering the property to them as allegedly required by the Rental Housing Conversion and Sale Act, D.C.Code §§ 42-3404.02 through 42-3404.13 (2001) (“Sale Act”). The Association also alleged a violation of the District of Columbia Consumer Protection Procedures Act (“CPPA”), D.C.Code §§ 28-3901 through 28-3911 (2001). The Superior Court entered summary judgment in favor of IMC, holding that the transfer of the Eldon was not a “sale” within the meaning of the statute, and that there had been no violation of the CPPA. The Tenants’ Association appealed (Nos. 06-CV-1150 and 06-CY-1387). We reverse the grant of summary judgment in part and remand for further proceedings.
