Evicted from the room

WASHINGTON — The D.C. Court of Appeals vacated the decision of a trial court that ruled against a landlord who sought to evict her tenants from a room in her house but did not have a “concrete plan for how she will use the room” in their absence. Because they live in a room in her home, and not in a separate structure, she did not need to claim more than that she wants to make their room part of her own dwelling.
