Before You File

For the Division to start an investigation, complaints must fit jurisdiction. Make sure you have the following information needed to determine if your complaint fits jurisdiction:




  • Date, time and location of incident: For a complaint to be filed with the Community Relations Division, the last known act of discrimination must have been within the statute of limitation (6 months for employment and public accommodation; 1 year for housing).
  • The person or business’ details: We will need at least a name. The more provided, the better we will be able to process your complaint. 
  • Details about the discrimination or the incident that occurred: What happened? How were you treated differently than another tenant? Was the action based on a protected class? 

Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities
