I want to know if my Housing Authority can be sued and if so, how do I go about doing it?
I have a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. Before this voucher was issued to me, I was 6 months behind in my rent to my present landlord and at present paying this debt off.
The housing authority says I cannot move until this pre-section 8 debt is paid in full. I have checked with the HUD office in DC and they tell me that I don't need to pay this to be able to move, because this debt existed prior to my taking of the Section 8 voucher and in addition because it was not included in my section 8 lease to be paid back as part of the section 8 lease agreement.
What I have here is the Director of the housing authority and the rental agent conspiring with my landlord to keep me here to pay off this non-section 8 debt, under the guise that this is part of my section 8 responsibility.
If anyone can direct me on what steps to take to file a lawsuit, it would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
