DA routine eviction process unrelated to the complaint

The Fair Housing Act prohibits retaliation against persons who exercise their fair housing rights — including filing complaints, testifying in proceedings, or assisting others in making fair housing complaints. Retaliatory evictions or other adverse actions following a fair housing complaint are themselves Fair Housing Act violations.
