They fell in the statement because it was listed on the Wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_control_in_the_United_Sta...
Thank you for the heads up.

The most common exemptions from rent control are for rental units that are:
- Federally or District-subsidized
- Built after 1975
- Owned by a natural person (i.e., not a corporation) who owns no more than four rental units in the District
- Vacant when the Act took effect
-----
To be clear, DC has an extremely tenant friendly set of laws. But the rent control is basically just a legacy of an earlier era.
