A:
If you believe that your HUD housing is illegally charging for solar energy without proper metering at your unit, you can address this issue by filing a complaint with several entities. Firstly, you might consider contacting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) directly, as they oversee public housing and subsidized housing matters. Additionally, filing a complaint with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) could be appropriate since they regulate utility services and can investigate charges and services that seem unfair or unauthorized.
Your local housing authority is also a key resource in such situations. They provide oversight and can address concerns regarding the operations of HUD housing within your locality. Be prepared to provide them with all pertinent details, including any communication with the landlord and documentation of the charges and your electricity usage.
Lastly, it may be helpful to seek advice from a legal aid organization experienced in housing issues. They can offer guidance specific to your circumstances, help you navigate the regulatory framework, and ensure your rights as a tenant are fully protected. This approach will not only address your immediate concerns but also safeguard you against potential retaliation from the landlord.
