Housing Rights Center contacted me...what do i do?

[Mai Dao]

So, I'm having an issue with a tenant and they've contacted Housing Rights Center and is claiming that there is Disability Discrimination.... It's not true but i believe I'm going to have bigger issues now and i might have to go to court? What should I do? Get a lawyer? And any recommendations for one ... I'm located in the LA County area.

As Carl already pointed out, you don't need to do anything right now except collect your thoughts and notes. Write down every interaction you can recall with them. Collect any written communications like the lease, email, or text. Just collect it and wait to see if this comes to anything. If it does, listen to the specific complaint and see if there's any validity.

What you don't want to do is try to argue your case over the phone with a pencil-pushing nobody who's sole job is to find wrong-doing. If you need to make a response, you should probably do so through an attorney to ensure it's factual, unemotional, and legal.
