1755.08 PROHIBITION OF RETALIATORY ACTION.

   It is unlawful for an Owner, or any person acting on his or her behalf, to take any retaliatory action toward an occupant, lessee, or tenant who reports a failure of the Owner to obtain a Lead-Safe Certificate, or who reports suspected lead-based paint hazards to the Owner or to the City, or reports other issues suggesting non-compliance with this Chapter or the City Building or Housing Code. Retaliatory actions include, but are not limited to, any actions that materially alter the terms of the tenancy (including unsupported rent increases and non-renewals) or interfere with the occupants' use of the property.
