Full Question:
I’ve been advised to file an petition to remove my tenant. What I further want to know is can I also recover all my furniture and personal property that are in the leased house, in the same case?

Answer:
D.C. Code § 42-3209 states:
“Whenever real and personal property are leased together, as, for example, a house with furniture contained therein, the landlord, either in an action of ejectment or in the summary proceeding for possession, in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, may have a judgment for recovery of the personalty as well as the realty.”
