In Lindner v. District of Columbia, D.C. Mun.App., 32 A.3d 540, 543, we said that "unless so declared in express terms or by necessary implication, a statutory remedy is merely cumulative and does not abolish an existing common law remedy." There is no express provision in the statute under consideration which abolishes the landlord's common law right and we see no necessary implication to that effect. [118 A.2d at 397.]
