Report Discrimination

If you or someone you know has experienced signs of discrimination, we can help.

Here’s where to begin:

Remember

Think through your experience, from the time you saw an ad or made a call, to an appointment or follow-up conversation. No part of the process should discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), familial status, national origin, or disability. Additionally, think about whether you know of other people who had a different experience than you did?

Record

Write down names, addresses, and phone numbers of individuals, agents, properties, companies and witnesses involved, as well as of any person who may have had a different experience with the same individual or company. Note dates, times, and comments from conversations or other incidents. Keep copies of advertising, letters, emails, and any other documents or information.

Report

Call us at (901) 538-7700 or visit our office from 9am-5pm Monday-Friday. You can also use the form below to start the process. After you submit the form, we will contact you to learn more, help you identify and further document potential discrimination, and take steps to investigate the situation.

Note: We accept anonymous complaints and are strictly committed to confidentiality.

If you do not have all the information requested on the form, fill out what you know, and we will help you with the rest.
