Filing a complaint with any appropriate governmental agency remains an open avenue regardless of what other steps have been taken under this article.

For Property Managers

Under § 38-41 of Ashton Ch. 38, property owners and managers should be aware that a complainant is not limited to the processes described within this article alone. A person alleging a violation may bring claims through multiple channels at once, including other legal forums or governmental agencies. Operators who maintain thorough records and consistent non-discriminatory practices are generally better positioned to respond across any of those potential venues.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Section 38-41 of Ashton Ch. 38 makes clear that pursuing a complaint under this article does not foreclose other rights or remedies that may be available to you. Tenants may file complaints with other appropriate governmental agencies in addition to, or instead of, using the processes described in this article. Tenant-rights organizations can help identify which agencies or legal avenues may be relevant to a particular situation.
