DC posts weekly TOPA filings for April 6–10, 2026 listing properties with tenant purchase rights

The District's housing agency published its weekly Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) filings report covering April 6 through April 10, 2026, listing properties where owners served formal notices of intent to sell. The public posting is intended to notify tenants, owners and community stakeholders about filings that may trigger tenants' statutory rights under TOPA.

The report compiles notices submitted to the city's housing office during the seven-day period and makes the information available on the municipal website. It includes basic filing details so affected residents and prospective buyers can identify properties subject to the TOPA process and start any next steps required under law.

What the weekly report shows

The weekly listing identifies the dates when owners filed notices and the properties included in those filings. That public ledger functions as an official record for neighborhood groups, tenant organizers, attorneys and potential purchaser groups who monitor local market activity and preserve tenant purchase rights.

TOPA is a local statute that gives qualifying tenants an opportunity to buy a building when an owner seeks to sell. The law creates procedural steps that both owners and tenant groups must follow once a notice of intent to sell has been filed with the city's housing office. The weekly report does not replace those formal filings or legal notices but serves as a published summary to improve transparency.

How TOPA affects tenants and owners

For tenants, the notice in the weekly report is an early public signal that their building may be part of a sale process that triggers acquisition rights. Tenant organizations and legal advocates frequently use these reports to confirm filings and to organize responses or to secure counsel. For owners and brokers, the report is a reminder of the administrative and procedural requirements that accompany a sale when tenants hold statutory purchase rights.

Housing advocates and neighborhood stakeholders often review the weekly list to track sales activity across neighborhoods and to identify buildings where organizing or legal assistance may be needed. Local housing policy groups say the transparency of a regularly posted public report helps keep all parties informed about the pace and distribution of TOPA-triggering sales in the city.

City officials update the weekly TOPA listing on the municipal website and encourage tenants, owners and representatives to consult the filing for authoritative details and next steps. The report is one of several public records the housing agency maintains to support procedural compliance and public awareness.

Watch for the next weekly posting to see whether additional filings appear and to track any subsequent public notices or recorded transactions tied to the properties listed for April 6–10, 2026.
