Couple’s Move Held Hostage by Tenant

A couple is currently renting out their one-bedroom loft out while they’re out of the city. They want to purchase a new home for their growing family, but they cannot finance the new house until they sell their condo in DC. However, the tenant is refusing to leave the condo, which is allowed under the current TOPA law, leaving the couple stranded. The couple has offered to pay for the tenant’s move to a new, identical condo in the same community, but the tenant won’t leave.
