Landlord Accountability

Georgetown University invited owners of rental properties in the areas near campus where students live to partner with the University in maintaining the high quality of life in these neighborhoods, and to publicly declare their commitment to this goal by signing a pledge.

The pledge reads:

As a landlord who rents property in the historic neighborhoods around Georgetown University, I am committed to maintaining the high quality of life of our community. I pledge to do be a responsible neighbor by: maintaining my property and lawn in at least the manner required by D.C. law; licensing my property with the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA), as required by D.C. law; working in cooperation and partnership with all members of the community to address issues impacting quality of life in our community."
