Temple argues, however, that this result leads to a permanent loss of all cost of living increases in the decade between 1973 and 1983. In one respect, of course, any possible hardship to Temple as a result of this determination is counterbalanced by the benefits accruing to him during the lengthy period in which he evaded rent control. More importantly, however, if Temple in fact finds himself in a financially difficult position, a hardship petition to adjust the rent ceiling is one of several options he may pursue. Id. § 45-1523. We therefore affirm the agency's decision to set the rent ceilings of all the units as of registration at the base rent level.
