References in the Committee Report to easing the burden on "small landlords" are also unhelpful. As a theoretical matter, a corporate landlord can be just as "small” as one holding property in partnership. Size, therefore, is not a meaningful basis for gleaning the Council’s intended definition of "natural persons" in § 45-1516(a)(3)(A). However, the Commission’s reference to small individual landlords is consistent with the purpose of the exemption for small landlords to remove the burdens of compliance from those who were not in a position to ease or shift that burden, namely an individual who is not in the rental housing business.
