Plain English

Under Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-366, when the director responsible for fair housing complaints concludes that there is no reasonable basis to believe a discriminatory housing practice has taken place or is imminent, the complaint must be promptly dismissed. The director is also required to make each such dismissal publicly available, creating a record of the outcome. This provision establishes both a procedural threshold for advancing complaints and a transparency requirement for cases that do not meet it.

For Property Managers

Section 13-366 of Omaha's fair housing ordinance provides a formal checkpoint in the complaint process: if the director finds no reasonable cause, the complaint is dismissed and that dismissal is made public. For property owners and managers, this means that complaints filed against them may be resolved at this early stage without proceeding to further enforcement action. Operators who maintain clear, consistent, and non-discriminatory policies and records are generally better positioned to demonstrate to the director that no reasonable cause exists.

For Tenants

Under § 13-366, a complaint you file may be dismissed if the director determines there is no reasonable cause to believe a discriminatory housing practice occurred or was about to occur. Importantly, each dismissal must be made public, so you can seek information about how similar complaints have been handled. If your complaint is dismissed, general enforcement paths may include reviewing the basis for the dismissal, consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Omaha's fair housing process, or exploring whether other avenues under the ordinance remain available.
