(a) If a complaint is conciliated, the terms of conciliation agreed to by the parties may be reduced to writing and incorporated into a consent agreement to be signed by the parties. The agreement must be for conciliation purposes only and is not an admission by any party that a violation of this Chapter has occurred or a defective tenancy exists. Consent agreements must be signed on behalf of the Director.
(b) It is a violation of this Chapter to fail to adhere to any provision of a consent agreement. Any failure by the Commission to enforce a violation of any consent agreement does not waive any rights contained in the agreement of the nonviolating party or the Commission. (1972 L.M.C., ch. 27, § 1; 2000 L.M.C., ch. 32, § 1.)
