by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals as follows: "The adjustment of general
applicability allows housing providers the option to increase rent ceilings annually in order to
keep up with inflation. The adjustment 'shall be equal to the change during the previous
calendar year, ending each December 31, in the Washington, D.C. Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Eamers and Clerical Workers (CPI-W)
for all items during the preceding calendar year,' subject to a cap often percent. D.C. Code
§ 42-3502.06(b). It is the RHC's duty to determine the amount of the general applicability
adjustment annually and publish it by March 1 of each year. See id. and D.C. Code
§ 42-3502.02(a)(3). The adjustment is published annually in the D.C. Register with an effective
date of May 1." Sawyer Prop. Mgmt. Inc. v. District o/Columbia Rental Hous. Comm 'n , 877
