D.C.Code § 42-3505.02 (prohibiting rent increase for retaliatory purpose); § 2-1402.21(a)(l), (4) (prohibiting rent increase for the purpose of discriminating on the basis of race or national origin, among other protected classes). The examiner found that the rent increase was not retaliatory in violation of § 42-3505.02, and dismissed for lack of jurisdiction the tenant’s charges of ethnic and racial discrimination. The RHC does not cite to any regulation or statute requiring that rent increases be imposed evenly on all tenants, and has not otherwise demonstrated that the landlord’s purpose of recouping the costs incurred in collecting rent from a delinquent tenant was legally impermissible.
