Violations of Housing Accountability Act

The courts are the primary authority that enforces the HAA. Actions can be brought by eligible plaintiffs and petitioners to the court for potential violations of the law. Similarly, HCD under Government Code section 65585 (j), can find that a local government has taken an action in violation of the HAA. In that case, after notifying a local government of the violation, HCD would refer the violation to the Office of the Attorney General who could file a petition against a local government in the Superior Court.
