Second, they rely on Temple's failure to file a Claim of Exemption Statement. D.C. Code § 45-1516(a)(3) (1981); Act of November 10, 1976, D.C. Act 1-173, § 2(e), 23 D.C.Reg. 3608, 3611) (landlords were first required to file a Claim of Exemption Statement under this emergency act). Third, they argue that even if the "four or fewer units" cut-off point is applied retroactively to Temple's claim, and even if Temple's failure to file a Claim of Exemption Statement in 1976 does not thereby render him subject to the Rent Stabilization Program at that time, Temple still failed to prove by credible evidence that he occupied one of the units in the building during the relevant period.[13] Finally, they argue that evidence of Temple's ownership of more than his property at 216 Third St., S.E., defeats his claim on the merits.
