District of Columbia Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court
GALLAGHER, Senior Judge:
This is an appeal by landlord Muriel Ya-suna from a decision and order of the Rental Housing Commission which affirmed an award of treble damages for alleged rental overcharges to tenant John Simmons. The landlord challenges the assumption of the Rental Housing Commission’s (RHC) jurisdiction to rule on rental overcharges in light of prior Superior Court judgments in her suits for possession. The landlord also argues that the award of treble damages was inconsistent with RHC regulations. We find no merit in these arguments and accordingly affirm the order of the RHC.
