Temple first argues that the use of 1973 as the relevant year in determining the base rent was erroneous. He contends that his occupancy of one of the units in the five-unit building exempted the building from registration until 1977 when he moved out. Id. § 45-1516(a)(3) (exempting any rental unit in any housing accommodation of four or fewer units.) Thus, the "base rent" figure used in the damage computation should have been drawn from 1977 rent levels.
