In Jack Spicer Real Estate, Inc. v. Gassaway, 353 A.2d 288
(D.C. 1976), we interpreted the impact of rent control regulations on these sections of the Code. In that case, the landlord filed suit for possession after serving a tenant at sufferance with a simple notice to quit under § 45-1404, without including any of the reasons for eviction specified in Section 10 of the District of Columbia Rent Control Regulation No. 74-20. We held that the simpler, "conflicting" termination provisions codified at §§ 45-1401 and 45-1404 "must yield to more recently enacted rent control regulations" requiring a notice showing a legitimate reason for termination. JackSpicer, 353 A.2d at 291-92.
