. For this reason the majority’s reliance on the Rental Housing Commission’s decision in Ficke v. Washington Federal Savings & Loan Ass’n, No. T.P. 11,062 (May 4, 1984), is ill-advised. The Ficke opinion is based primarily on D.C. Code § 45-1661, which sets forth a rule of statutory construction applicable only to "this chapter.” The Commission not only ignores or overlooks the fact that "this chapter” does not include section 45-1561, but also erroneously asserts that section 45-1661 is part of the Rental Housing Act of 1980 when in fact it is not. Thus Ficke is of little or no value as precedent; it demonstrates merely that the Commission has misread the District of Columbia Code. --- 010combined ---
