Fair Housing Complaint

I'm in CA, and a tenant has filed a Fair Housing complaint against me. I have no idea what for (Fair Housing has not called us back), and I treat all my tenants the same- same rules for all. Has anyone here been through this? How did the process go down? Is the burden on me to prove that I did NOT discriminate? Or on them to prove that I did? To add some context, his June rent was lost or stolen out of the mail, and he's angry at us for still requiring him to pay June rent. We told him we sympathize with his situation, but unfortunately the theft is not our responsibility.

Let it run's it's course. Fair housing is a along slow process and in the majority of cases they do not follow through. They are not the boogie man that many landlords have a irrational fear of.

Wait and see, do not be intimidated by the fear mongers. If you feel you have done nothing wrong, especially if it is related to his June rent, don't worry, be patient.
