Here are the facts. My landlord owns multiple houses in D.C. I live in a house that he owns, which has 5 rooms. There is 1 main lease for a term of 1 year. 4 of us sublet through the main lease holder. Our rent is $3700. Our landlord does not have a business license. The lease is scheduled to expire at the end of August. The landlord orally told us that he will not renew the lease with us. We have started looking for new places to live. I found on craigslist his advertisement. He intends to increase the rent from $3700 to $4700 for the new tenants. My question is (1) have we suffered an "eviction" under D.C. law because he told us to leave without giving us the option to renew or go to an automatic month to month ? (2) Based on these facts, are we entitled to some other damages based on the facts above?
