The District of Columbia Application To Proceed In Form Pauperis-For Landlord and Tenant (DC APP) is a form used by individuals who are unable to pay court costs and fees in order to bring a civil action against their landlord or tenant in the D.C. Superior Court. The DC APP allows individuals to legally proceed with their case without having to pay court costs and fees. It is important to note that the DC APP is not a guarantee of success and that the court may still require payment of court costs and fees at a later date. The DC APP must be approved by the court in order for the individual to proceed with their case. There are two types of DC APP available: one for Landlords and one for Tenants. The Landlord DC APP is used by individuals who are filing a civil action against their landlord in the D.C. Superior Court. The Tenant DC APP is used by individuals who are filing a civil action against their tenant in the D.C. Superior Court. In order to complete either the Landlord or Tenant DC APP, the individual must provide information regarding their income, assets, and expenses. The individual must also explain why they are unable to pay the court costs and fees. The DC APP must be accompanied by supporting documents such as pay stubs, bank statements, and other documents that demonstrate the individual’s inability to pay. Once the DC APP is submitted to the court, the court will review the information provided and make a decision whether to approve or deny the application. If the DC APP is approved, the individual will be allowed to proceed with their case without having to pay court costs and fees.
