Under the 1977 Act, “no landlord of any rental unit subject to this subchapter may charge or collect rent for such rental unit in excess of [the applicable rent ceiling].” D.C.Code § 45-1687(a) (1980 Supp.). The rent ceiling is computed initially by adding to the “base rent” (the “rent legally charged or chargeable on October 31, 1977,” D.C.Code § 45-1681(a) (1980 Supp.)) a percentage of that rent, which varies according to the number of services the rent covers. D.C.Code § 45-1687(a) (1980 Supp.). It can be altered later to reflect changed circumstances. On the landlord’s petition, the RAO may allow an increase in a rent ceiling under D.C.Code § 45-1688 (1980 Supp.) for any of four reasons: to allow the landlord to recover the cost of capital improvements (D.C.Code § 45-1691 (1980 Supp.)); to include the cost of an increase in services or facilities provided (D.C.Code § 45-1692 (1980 Supp.)); to “generate ... a rate of return” of not more than eight percent (a “hardship petition,” D.C.Code § 45-1693 (1980 Supp.)); and to compensate for a vacancy in the unit, when the tenant either moves out voluntarily or is evicted for certain specified reasons, including non-payment of rent (D.C.Code § 45-1694 (1980 Supp.)). The Commission may also adjust rent ceilings throughout the District of Columbia once a year to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index. D.C.Code § 45-1687(b) (1980 Supp.). 5 *1108
