Aparment complex and the better business bureau?

Question

can i report an aparment complex to the better business bureau? or to whom besides the corporate headquarters can i report them for jobs that they are not doing?

Answer 1

Depending on the scope of the problem, the BBB may or may not be able to help.  For example, if it's a payment issue, the BBB can take your complaint.  If it's a complaint about discrimination, the BBB probably wouldn't help you.

I suggest filing a complaint at www.bbb.org.  It can't hurt, and it's free.  

As to the membership issue, the BBB processes complaints against members and non-members.  And while participation in the complaint pprocess is voluntary on the company's part, the outcome of that complaint will become a part of its "reliability report" for three years.  Most companies, members and non-members, WANT to work with the BBB to resolve disputes.

The only difference between members and non-members is that if a member fails to respond to a complaint or address the issues in a proper manner, it can have its membership revoked.

Good luck!

Answer 2

You can report them to the Better Business Bureau, but unless they are members (by choice) it will not accomplish much. The Better Business Bureau is a paper tiger.

If there are habitability issues, housing code violations, then call your local housing/building inspector.

Answer 3

I do not think they get involved with housing issues.     If you have an issue you report to the housing authority or health department.
