Buying a home with tenants in place:
“We’re in the process of buying a unit that is currently rented out. The existing lease expires in the fall. The tenants have waived their TOPA rights. We would like to move into the unit as soon as possible. Does anyone know whether a new owner has the right to terminate a lease in DC? I have read on the Office of the Tenant Advocate website that one of the 10 legal reasons for evicting tenants is if a property is sold and the new owner would like to occupy it themselves. However, OTA doesn’t make clear whether this applies only in month-to-month situations or whether it applies when there is a valid lease in place.
If we are legally allowed to terminate the lease, does anyone know what kind of notice we need to provide or could you direct me to some resources where we could find out? Also is there a set amount of money we need to give the tenants to move out? We would greatly appreciate any other tips or guidance you could provide!”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
