Introduction
Pursuant to the authority granted to the Human Relations Commission under 6 Del.C. § 4616 of the Delaware Fair Housing Act, and in accordance with the applicable requirements of The Administrative Procedures Act, the Human Relations Commission has adopted these rules and regulations to carry out the Delaware Fair Housing Act (The Act).
These regulations shall govern individual cases over which the Human Relations Commission and the Division of Human Relations have jurisdiction pursuant to 6 Del.C., Ch. 46.
These procedural regulations are intended to carry out the Delaware Fair Housing Act prohibiting unlawful discrimination in housing, and to enable the Commission to achieve equal or greater protection, thereby allowing eligibility for certain Federal funding necessary to carry out this function as a substantially equivalent agency.
These rules and regulations are specific to the processing of complaints of unlawful housing discrimination under the Delaware Fair Housing Act. The Commission believes these rules and regulations are necessary to ensure the appropriate administration of the Fair Housing Act and in order that the commission will be regarded as a substantially equivalent agency.
