(a) Whether or not any real property subject to sale under this chapter is subject to an estate for life, or a lease or ground rent for a term (with renewals) that is at least 30 years, the Mayor shall sell the entire fee simple estate; provided, that after the judgment of foreclosure of the right of redemption, no claim for rent unpaid, due, or accruing before the date of the judgment of foreclosure of the right of redemption shall be made by the purchaser (or assignee).
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section or any other provision to the contrary, when a real property subject to sale under this chapter is subject to a ground lease and the ground lessor is the District of Columbia, or an instrumentality of the District, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, or an entity whose real property is exempt from real property taxation or the enforced collection thereof under the laws of the United States of America, the Mayor shall sell the real property’s improvements only, for the remaining period as provided in the lease and subject to the other terms and conditions of the lease. Any additional representation related to what is being sold shall be ineffectual and shall not affect the validity of the sale.
(c) The termination of claims on real property sold under this section shall not foreclose any personal claims against previous holders of the interest sold for any damages including rent unpaid, due, or accruing before the date of the judgment of foreclosure.

Law 20-141, repealed before its effective date, would have deleted “his” preceding “assignee” at the end of (a); inserted present (b); redesignated former (b) as (c); and in (c), deleted “subsection (a) of” preceding “this section”, inserted “any damages including”, deleted “of the right of redemption” at the end, and made minor stylistic changes.
