OAR 839 § 839-003-0210
Withdrawal of a Housing Discrimination Complaint
Operative Text
An aggrieved person may voluntarily withdraw a complaint at any time by giving the division written notice of the aggrieved person’s decision to withdraw. The division will then close the case.
Under OAR 839 § 839-003-0210, a person who has filed a housing discrimination complaint with the division retains the right to voluntarily withdraw that complaint at any time during the process. Withdrawal is accomplished by submitting written notice of the decision to the division, after which the division closes the case. The rule places no time restriction on when this option may be exercised.
Plain English — not legal advice.
OAR 839 § 839-003-0210 provides that a complainant may withdraw a housing discrimination complaint against a property owner or manager at any time by notifying the division in writing. When such a withdrawal occurs, the division closes the case, ending that particular proceeding. Operators who receive notice that a complaint has been withdrawn should retain documentation of the closure for their records.

OAR 839 § 839-003-0210 gives you, as the person who filed a housing discrimination complaint, the right to withdraw it at any time simply by sending written notice to the division. Once the division receives that notice, it will close the case. If you are uncertain about whether withdrawal is the right course of action, consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Oregon fair housing law can help you understand the implications of that choice.
