D.C. Code § 45-1561 (1981) (construed in Valentine), governing evictions under the Rental Housing Act of 1980, replaced Rent Control Regulation No. 74-20, see D.C. Law 3-131, § 501 (Mar. 4, 1981) (construed in Jack Spicer). Similarly, D.C. Code § 45-2551 (1990), governing evictions under the Rental Housing Act of 1985, has supplanted former § 45-1561, in some instances with identical eviction provisions. See D.C. Law 6-10, § 501 (July 17, 1985); D.C. Law 6-192, § 13(g) (Feb. 24, 1987). JackSpicer and Valentine, therefore, indicate — for purposes of this case — that after enactment of a series of rent control statutes, no basis remains for saying that a housing landlord3
could still use § 45-1402, any more than §§ 45-1401, -1403, or -1404, to terminate a tenancy without giving a valid reason specified by statute.
