Washington Federal Savings & Loan Ass'n v. Whiteside, 488 A.2d 936 (1985)

The essence of Washington Federal’s contention in the administrative proceedings, in the trial court, and here, is that while Whiteside is a tenant at will as a result of the Trustees’ sale of the premises, D.C.Code § 45-222 (1981), he is not a tenant within the meaning of the Rent Control Act. D.C.Code § 45-1501 et seq. (1981). The Hearing Examiner rejected this argument as did the Rental Housing Commission on appeal. Petitions for review of these rulings have been filed in this court with respect to these rulings by both sides —Nos. 84-640, 84-742, 84-789 (consolidated) — and are still pending here.
