We next turn to BSA's contention that the trial court erred when it found BSA's notice to vacate invalid pursuant to D.C.Code § 42-3505.01(i). BSA's plan, by its own admission, was to evict the tenants, hold the units vacant for the required twelve-month period, and then sell the units to owner-occupiers. The trial court found that this planned use would violate the statute. BSA argues its actions were entirely consistent with the statute and that the trial court's decision runs contrary to public policy because it effectively restricts a landlord's ability to remove himself from the rental housing business in the District of Columbia.
