For Property Managers

Under Niles Ch. 58 § 58-71, property owners and managers should be aware that any person who believes they were discriminated against in violation of Chapter 58 has up to 60 days to file a formal written complaint with the Board of Trustees. Compliant operators typically maintain clear records of rental decisions, communications, and policies so that they can respond accurately if a complaint is filed naming them as a respondent. Understanding the complaint structure — which requires the complainant to state specific facts — helps operators recognize what documentation may be relevant if a grievance is brought.
