Under § 96.04, property owners and managers should be aware that the 180-day filing window does not eliminate the importance of maintaining thorough records of rental decisions, communications, and policies. Compliant operators generally document their practices contemporaneously so that, if a charge is filed within the 180-day period, accurate records are available to respond. Understanding this limitation period is part of staying informed about the fair housing obligations that apply to rental operations in Kasson.
