How do Florida residents file a housing discrimination complaint?

If you have attempted to buy or rent a home in Florida and feel like you were discriminated against on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, family status, or disability you can file a housing discrimination complaint.

There are several methods you can use to file a complaint including sending a letter to the following address.

Atlanta Regional Office of FHEO
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
Five Points Plaza
40 Marietta Street, 16th Floor
Atlanta, Georgia 30303-2806

The letter needs to include your name and address, the name and address of the person or persons you have a complaint against, the property address you were trying to rent/buy, when the issue happened and a description of what happened.

There is also a number you can call, 800-669-9777 or you can visit HUD’s website and file the complaint online. Discrimination is illegal and should be reported.
