A fair housing complaint is filed with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. The MDHR investigates and finds no probable cause to believe discrimination occurred. Which of the following accurately describes the complainant's options after a no-probable-cause determination?

Correct Answer

B) The complainant may appeal the no-probable-cause determination or file a civil action in district court within the applicable limitations period

Under Minn. Stat. § 363A.28 and related provisions, a complainant who receives a no-probable-cause determination from the MDHR is not without recourse. The complainant may seek reconsideration or appeal within the MDHR process, or may independently file a civil action in Minnesota district court within the applicable statute of limitations. The MDHR determination does not bar a private civil lawsuit.

Answer Options
A
The complainant has no further recourse and the matter is permanently closed
B
The complainant may appeal the no-probable-cause determination or file a civil action in district court within the applicable limitations period
C
The complainant must re-file the complaint with HUD within 30 days to preserve their rights
D
The complainant may only seek review by the Minnesota Attorney General's office
