With the change of tenants, Shannon & Luchs increased the rent to $466 per month, effective April 1, 1982. This increase, known as a “vacancy increase,” was based on D.C. Code § 45-1524(a) (1981), which provides that the landlord may adjust the rent ceiling “[w]hen a tenant vacates a rental unit on his or her own initiative....” It is this April 1982 rent increase which is at the heart of this case.
