Public Housing Rent Dispute

Summary

If you believe you are being overcharged for rent in Minnesota public housing and have exhausted the grievance process, consider requesting a formal hearing or appeal within the housing authority. You can also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or Minnesotas Human Rights department for potential discrimination. To file a complaint, visit HUDs website or call their hotline, and for the Minnesota Human Rights department, access their website or contact them by phone. Seeking legal advice from another legal aid organization or a private attorney may also be beneficial.

I tried to seek legal aid but they did not respond in time for the informal hearing. At the hearing their lawyer told me they don't have to follow their own admission and occupancy policy or state laws
