Nadeau: We can expand housing without taking away tenant rights

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Councilmember Brianne K. Nadeau, D-Ward 1, issued the following statement regarding the Council’s vote on the RENTAL Act.

I am greatly disappointed in the Council’s vote to reverse decades of protections for tenants under TOPA. I reject the assumption that the only way to increase production of housing for new tenants is to take away rights from existing tenants.

When the Council returns in September, I’ll push for changes to the RENTAL Act that streamline the process for developers and guarantee shorter timelines and push to remove newly proposed limitations on TOPA rights.

Housing Targets Legislation Gets Committee OK 

The D.C. Council’s Committee on Housing on Thursday approved a measure – The Fair Share Housing Targets Act of 2025 – to establish clear, housing production targets for the District as a whole and in individual areas of the city – especially for affordable housing units, an important signal of the District’s ambitions and an invitation for new investment.

Taking care of each other

I have always believed that the way we treat our most vulnerable communities is a measure of how well the District is doing. And in recent years, we have asked those with too little to shoulder far too much of our budget burden–even as my colleagues and I have fought to restore and expand the safety net our neighbors most in need rely on–without asking others to pay their fair share.

Appreciation for Jubilee Housing

I want to use that recognition to highlight and thank Jubilee Housing for its incredible work in the community, and to showcase how we can make a difference in the success of affordable housing production when we all work together.
