1,259 charsIn Jones v. Brawner Co., 435 A.2d 54 (D.C. 1981), the landlord sued for possession of an apartment alleging the tenant had willfully and consistently failed to pay rent on time. Two statutes applied: D.C. Code § 45-1699.6(b)(1) (1980 Supp.) — part of the 1977 Rental Housing Act — required a "notice to cure";4 D.C. Code § 45-906 (1973), *Page 680 called for a "notice to quit."5 This court indicated that these two notices were different documents, not only because their purposes were obviously different but also because service of process on a tenant under § 45-906, including substituted service, was different than that allowed under the 1977 Rental Housing Act. Id. at 56. We reversed the judgment of possession in favor of the landlord because the landlord had failed to meet the service requirements of § 45-906. In doing so, we rejected the argument that our decision in Jack Spicer implied that the Rent Control Regulation No. 74-20 had superseded the service provisions applicable to a notice to quit under § 45-906. We expressly confirmed that "the provisions of the regulation did not supplant the notice requirements specified in the previously enacted § 45-906. The two were to be read harmoniously." Jones, 435 A.2d at 56 (citation omitted).
