[15] The tenant's counsel has cited a section of the rental housing regulations which provides that "[s]ervice by mail shall be complete upon mailing." 14 DCMR § 3911.5 (1991). "Service" is a term of art, however, and this provision applies to documents required to be "served" under the rental housing regulations. See, e.g., 14 DCMR § 4014.1 (motion for continuance of a scheduled hearing or for an extension of time to file a pleading), § 4204.10(c) (certificate of election to increase rent ceiling), § 4300.1 (notice to vacate). The terms "serve" or "service" are not found in those regulations applying to the sale of residential rental housing. See 14 DCMR §§ 4711.1-4711.13 (1991).
