In its original form, TOPA set only one deadline for an expression of interest, and it applied to tenants in an accommodation with five or more units. "In order to make a contract of sale with an owner," D.C.Code § 45-1640, now codified as D.C.Code § 42-3404.11 (2001), required the tenants to "[f]orm a tenant organization with the legal capacity to hold real property" and "deliver a statement of registration to the Mayor and the owner by hand or by first class mail within 45 days of receipt of a valid offer." Whether the tenants used the mail or made hand delivery, the statement of registration had to be delivered to the owner "within 45 days." This served as notice that the tenant organization wished to purchase the property.
