An Inclusionary Unit Owner may temporarily lease a For Sale Inclusionary Unit in accordance with the provisions of this § 2220 if such lease is not otherwise prohibited by applicable cooperative, condominium, or homeowner association rules.
Upon written submission of a request for a waiver of the principal occupancy requirement for a temporary absence from an Inclusionary Unit and supporting documentation, DHCD may permit an Inclusionary Unit Owner to temporarily lease a For Sale Inclusionary Unit for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months per request.

Requests to lease a For Sale Inclusionary Unit shall be based on a temporary need of the Owner to vacate the Inclusionary Unit, with intent to return. For example, such needs may include military service or another reason causing the Owner to temporarily leave the District metropolitan area.
If the request or any subsequent renewal is denied by DCHD the Inclusionary Unit Owner must reoccupy the unit as their principal residence within ninety (90) days after the denial or sell the unit in accordance with § 2206 within one hundred eighty (180) days after the denial.

The maximum rent charged during a temporary lease of a For Sale Inclusionary Unit shall be the rent set forth in the Rent and Price Schedule in place on the beginning date of the lease.
A condominium fee or assessment that a tenant of a For Sale Inclusionary Unit leased under this § 2220 is required to pay pursuant to the terms of his or her lease shall be considered part of the rent of the tenant when determining whether the rent charged is consistent with the Maximum Rent and Purchase Price Schedule.
