OAR 839-003-0205
Amending a Housing Discrimination Complaint

(1)

The division may amend a complaint to correct technical defects, to add additional persons as respondents and to add additional information found during the investigation of a complaint, including new factual allegations. The division may amend a complaint on its own initiative or at the aggrieved person’s request (with the division’s agreement) at any time prior to the issuance of formal charges, except that respondents may only be added during the course of investigation. Examples of technical defects include: clerical errors, additions or deletions, name and address corrections, and statute citation errors.

(2)

Within 10 days after identifying an additional person who will named as a respondent, the division will serve the person with a copy of the complaint that identifies the alleged discriminatory housing practice and a notice that advises the person of the procedural rights and obligations of the person, including the person’s right to file an answer to the complaint.

(a)

Such notice, in addition to meeting the requirements of subsection (1)(a), will explain the basis for the division’s belief that the person to whom the notice is addressed is properly joined as a respondent.

(b)

Each respondent may file, not later than 10 days after receipt of notice from the division, an answer to such complaint.

(3)

The division will send a copy of the amended complaint to the aggrieved person and all respondents.
