(A) Any person aggrieved by discriminatory practice prohibited by this section, may file with the Fair Housing Council, a complaint in writing under oath. The complaint shall be signed by the person claiming to be aggrieved, and shall state the name and address of the person alleged to have violated the provisions of this section, and shall further set forth the particulars of the violation, and may include such other information as may be required by the Council. Complaints filed under this section must be filed within 30 days after the alleged violation, and failure to file within the time, shall be considered a waiver of the application of this section. The Council may issue a complaint on its own initiative, at any time it is within the knowledge of the Council that a person has violated any of the provisions of this section.
(B) The Council shall investigate each complaint filed with the Council, and shall attempt an adjustment of the complaint by means of conference and conciliation. Sixty days shall be allowed for the purpose of investigation, conference and conciliation. Upon determination that a complaint is not well founded, the Council shall dismiss the complaint and notify the complainant and respondent in writing of the dismissal. If the Council takes no action within 90 days of the filing of the complaint, it shall be considered as dismissed.
