These events resulted in litigation in the District of Columbia Court of General Sessions between the project owners and numerous tenants who had placed the rental increase increment into escrow pending a determination of the legality of the increases, as well as the institution of the present action. These suits were dismissed. Thereafter, in December, 1969, a Settlement Agreement was entered into between the Tenants’ Council and the owners. The tenants agreed not to seek restitution for alleged rental overcharges in excess of FHA máximums, in return for which they retained the funds in escrow and were protected against further increases until July 1970 or November 1970, depending on which of two options each tenant elected.
