The VA has succumbed to the same fallacy that Simpson did. It asks us to apply rigidly a classification rooted in another statute to the situation before us without considering whom § 45-1561 was designed to protect. We decline to take such an inflexible approach and conclude that a proper construction of § 45-1561 requires distinguishing between defaulting mortgagors and tenants of defaulting mortgagors.
