In which situation can a complaint be filed with HLURB?

A complaint can be filed with the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) in the situation where a buyer raises an issue regarding the non-completion of a project. HLURB's primary functions include addressing concerns related to housing projects, including the obligations of developers to complete projects as promised. When buyers find themselves in circumstances where a developer fails to fulfill their commitments, particularly the completion of a housing subdivision or project, they have the right to file a complaint with HLURB. This process allows buyers to seek resolutions, potential remedies, and enforcement of their rights under housing and land use laws.

In contrast, complaints regarding issues like broker commissions, disputes between brokers and their salespersons, or developer complaints concerning right of way do not fall under HLURB's jurisdiction and are more suitable for resolution through other governing bodies or legal frameworks. These issues pertain to contractual agreements and disputes that are not specifically governed by housing and land use regulations. Therefore, the scenario involving the buyer and the developer’s failure to complete the project is the only one that directly relates to HLURB's regulatory role.
