Maria, a prospective tenant, believes she was denied an apartment in Memphis because of her national origin. She wants to file a complaint under Tennessee's state fair housing law. What is the maximum time period after the alleged discriminatory act within which Maria must file her complaint with the Tennessee Human Rights Commission?

Correct Answer

C) One year

Under the Tennessee Human Rights Act, Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-21-302, a complainant must file a discrimination complaint with the Tennessee Human Rights Commission within one year (12 months) of the alleged discriminatory act. This state filing deadline differs from the federal Fair Housing Act's 365-day (one year) filing period with HUD, but Tennessee's statute specifically references one year as the limitations period for THRC complaints.
