New Movement, Angry Landlord In DC, Investigates Possible Corruption In Department Of Consumer And Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) In DC

Online, May 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Washington, District of Columbia -- A new advocacy group headed by Almas J. Sami' and Emilio Williams are reaching out to District of Columbia property owners who have been victimized by tenants who use DCRA rules to avoid paying rent. "Angry Landlord In DC"TM is a forum where property owners in the DC area can compare notes and consider possible future class action litigation.

Angry Landlord In DC, www.angrylandlordindc.wordpress.com is looking for stories from property owners in the DC area who are forced to pay mortgages on their rental properties because renters are taking advantage of "tenant friendly" regulations. For instance, a property owner has paid over $30,000 in fines from DCRA and legal fees, while the tenant managed to forgo paying rent for over four years because they know their way around laws that are in favor of renters, and have connections to DCRA employees who are all too willing to walk them through the process of fighting against landlords. The purpose is to connect with landlords who have been victimized by the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) or judges or mediators who don't listen to the complaints of property owners. It is a double-edged sword in that many renters are not paying rent, but also because they refuse to leave.

The Organization is looking for property owners who have experienced the following:

Lost property or are currently in foreclosure due to non-payment of rent from a tenant.

Lost property because of difficult time evicting tenants who used housing laws to their benefit.

Currently in the process of attempting to evict a tenant who refuses to pay.

Have been advised by a court-appointed mediator or others to give delinquent tenants a "payoff" to get them to move.

Interested in joining other property owners in a class action lawsuit against the District of Columbia.
