before you file a complaint it’s important to know Landlord Tenant Law vs Fair Housing Law

Landlord Tenant Law involves day to day housing transactions including but not limited to:

• Deposits

• Repairs

• Rent payments

• Other issues related to the Lease

Fair housing violations may involve these elements but are also driven by the presence of a protected class such as a person’s:

• Sex

• Color

• Race,

• Religion

• National origin

• Familial status or Veteran status.

• If a housing provider is unwilling to help residents with physical or

  mental disabilities to make changes to their home, that may also be seen as a violation.

If you feel any of this applies to your situation, complete our intake/complaint form.

If your housing conflict or issue DOES NOT involve a difference in treatment based on a protected class then your issue may instead be solely a landlord-tenant law concern.
