General Technical Assistance

Are you a property manager or landlord with a fair housing question?  Do you have a question about action taken by your homeowners association?  Are you a tenant that thinks something illegal happened, but you’re not sure?  Are you a real estate agent faced with a difficult question regarding a prospective purchaser or seller?  Although we cannot provide you with legal advice, we’ll listen to the facts and try to offer information or another resource to help you through your situation.
