24 C.F.R. § 100.147
§ 100.147 Adjudication. (24 CFR Part 100)
Operative Text
An aggrieved person, complainant, department or agency that challenges a privilege asserted under § 100.144 may seek a determination of the existence and application of that privilege in: (a) A court of competent jurisdiction; or (b) An administrative law proceeding with appropriate jurisdiction.
Section 100.147 establishes the forums available when someone disputes a privilege claim made under § 100.144. Under this rule, any aggrieved person, complainant, or government department or agency that contests such a privilege may bring the question before either a court with proper jurisdiction or an administrative law proceeding with appropriate authority. The rule does not resolve the privilege itself—it simply identifies where that resolution can be sought.
Plain English — not legal advice.
When a landlord or property manager asserts a privilege under § 100.144, § 100.147 makes clear that the assertion is not automatically final. Compliant operators generally maintain thorough documentation supporting any privilege claim, since that claim may be tested in a court or administrative law proceeding. Being prepared to substantiate the privilege in either forum is a hallmark of sound recordkeeping practice.

Under § 100.147, tenants and other aggrieved parties have recognized avenues to challenge a privilege asserted under § 100.144—specifically, through a court with competent jurisdiction or through an administrative law proceeding. If a tenant believes a privilege claim is being used improperly, general enforcement paths include raising the issue in an ongoing administrative proceeding or initiating a court action. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain how these forums work and what each process generally involves.
