Complainant
Full legal name, contact information, mailing address and preferred notice method so the agency can reach the person filing the complaint and verify identity.
Completing the Fair Employment and Housing Act Form accurately preserves legal options, triggers agency investigation or mediation, and documents the claimant’s timeline and losses for potential litigation. Accurate filings help avoid administrative dismissal or avoidable delays in resolution.
The form is used by employees, job applicants, tenants, and their representatives to report unlawful employment or housing practices under California law.
Employers, housing providers, and legal counsel also receive copies and use the form to respond and prepare administrative records.
Full legal name, contact information, mailing address and preferred notice method so the agency can reach the person filing the complaint and verify identity.

Specify the protected characteristics or rights asserted (e.g., disability, race, familial status, pregnancy) and cite the specific FEHA or housing issue being alleged.
State the remedies sought (reinstatement, back pay, policy change, damages, reasonable accommodation) and any monetary amounts claimed, if known.
