Handling Specific LHO Situations

LHO Complaint Flowchart

Refer to the flowchart to help you follow logical steps in resolving typical situations. The suggested timeframes are only examples. In very serious situations, you may simply go to court immediately and seek an injunction. In less serious situations, you may give the alleged offender five days to give you a rough plan of how he/she might correct the problem, with a 30- day follow up after that. The length of time you may ask for corrective action varies and relates directly to how complex and how urgent the matter is.
