Finally, while we recognize that the Council intended that ambiguities in the statute be resolved "toward the end of strengthening the legal rights of tenants or tenant organizations," see D.C.Code § 42-3405.11 (2001);[16]Wilson Courts Tenants Ass'n, Inc. v. 523-525 Mellon Street, LLC, 924 A.2d 289, 294 (D.C.2007); Allman v. Snyder, 888 A.2d 1161, 1166 (D.C.2005), that rule of statutory construction, by its own terms, applies only when there is ambiguity.[17] Here, after consulting the language, structure, and legislative history of § 42-3404.09, we conclude that the statute is not ambiguous and we apply its plain meaning.
