Prior to the institution of these proceedings in 1987, McKenzie had been renting a house from the McCullochs for many years. In 1986, the rent was $407 per month. On December 5, 1986, the McCullochs filed a petition for a hardship increase in the rent ceiling1 pursuant to D.C.Code § 45-2522 (1990). On June 6, 1987, the Rent Administrator granted the petition, and the rent ceiling was increased from $407 to $1098 per month.2 On July 1, 1987, the McCullochs increased McKenzie’s rent to the new ceiling of $1098. McKenzie apparently failed to pay the increased rent and, on October 14, 1987, the McCullochs filed suit in the Superior Court for possession and for rent allegedly due and owing.
