Description
HOOD, Associate Judge. This is an appeal by a tenant from a judgment for possession of dwelling property in a landlord and tenant proceeding. Three points urged as grounds for reversal require our consideration. The action was in the names of two plaintiffs. One, Mrs. Mosher, is legal owner of the premises, who had contracted to sell the property to Mr. Horner. The other plaintiff, Mr. Moore, had contracted to buy the property from Horner. The contract between Horner and Moore contained the statement that 'Purchaser is buying the above premises for his own use and occupancy.' One condition under which the District of Columbia Emergency Rent Act permits recover of possession by a landlord is: 'The landlord has in good faith contracted in writing to sell the property for immediate and personal use and occupancy as a dwelling by the purchaser and that the contract of sale contains a representation by the purchaser that the property is being purchased by him for such immediate and personal use and occupancy.' Code 1940, § 45-1605(b)(3).
