I had once assumed that’s what the Housing Authority was; but its not. That’s just the program to pay rent for poor people. They don’t handle any landlord complaints. Finally, after talking to the city I was told that if I had a problem with a landlord that I would need to take them to court. They told me all landlord tenant disputes are considered civil manner in which the city doesn’t get involved. I actually filed a complaint with the Rental Protection Agency. It cost me $35 plus $18 for signature delivery; but it resolved my problem and prevented me from having to go to court with my landlord. As someone above mentioned… you can file a complaint with the RPA (on this site) or take your landlord to court. Those are your options.
