Maple Park — Title 6 Ch. 6 Fair Housing § 6-6-8
Dismissal of complaint
Operative Text
If, upon all the evidence at the hearing, the board finds that the person has not engaged in any unfair housing practice, the board shall state its findings of fact and shall issue and cause to be served upon the complainant an order dismissing the complaint. A copy of its order shall be delivered, in all cases, by the board to the complainant, to the person charged, and to the president.
Under Maple Park Title 6 Ch. 6 Fair Housing § 6-6-8, when the board reviews all evidence presented at a hearing and concludes that no unfair housing practice occurred, it is required to formally document its factual findings and issue a written dismissal order. That order must be served on the complainant and copies must be delivered to the complainant, the person who was charged, and the president. This provision establishes the procedural steps the board must follow when a complaint does not result in a finding of violation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 6-6-8, a property owner or manager who has been charged with an unfair housing practice and is cleared after a full evidentiary hearing will receive an official written copy of the board's dismissal order. Compliant operators generally retain these official documents as part of their records, since the order reflects a formal finding that no unfair housing practice was committed. Receiving this order signals the conclusion of that particular complaint proceeding before the board.

Section 6-6-8 governs what happens when the board rules against a complainant after reviewing all hearing evidence — the board must issue a written dismissal order with stated findings of fact, and the complainant is entitled to receive a copy of that order. Tenants who receive a dismissal order may wish to review the board's stated findings of fact to understand the basis for the decision. Those who believe the process was not followed correctly may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource to explore whether any further options exist.
