Housing providers cannot punish someone for opposing or reporting violations of this part. They also cannot threaten or coerce anyone using their rights under this subpart. HUD and the Attorney General enforce this using Fair Housing Act remedies.

(a) Non-retaliation requirement: No housing provider can discriminate against someone because that person opposed an unlawful act under this part, or testified, helped, or took part in any related matter. (b) Prohibition on coercion: No housing provider can coerce, intimidate, threaten, interfere with, or retaliate against anyone for exercising, or helping someone else exercise, rights under this subpart. This includes: (1) intimidating or threatening someone who is helping a person claim these rights; and (2) retaliating against someone for taking part in an investigation or enforcement action under this subpart. (c) Implementation: HUD and the Attorney General must enforce this subpart using the same rights and remedies found in title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (the Fair Housing Act).
