Housing-Related Complaints

The tenants often enter into a dispute with the landlord or management company. These disputes might be concerning the building conditions, increase in rent, right to stay, and essential services. The best way to deal with the same is to come to an agreement directly or reach out to outside help if you are unable to agree. Like, if you have a complaint against the mortgage company, then numerous government agencies accept such complaints and help you out. You are free to file your complaint with more than one agency at the federal and state level. The Department of Housing and Urban Development enforces the Fair Housing Act which prohibits discrimination while buying, renting, or securing financing for your home. You can file a complaint with the consumer financial protection bureau (CFPB) if a mortgage company has discriminated against you based on race, color, disability, religion, and national origin. If the housing provider discriminates against you during buying or renting a house because of your religion, sex, national origin, disability, and family status, then you can file a housing discrimination complaint and reach out to the regional HUD office.
