       1.5(2) “Housing Discrimination Complaint,” HUD 903, for a complaint alleging a discriminatory or unfair practice or act in the jurisdictional area of housing.

       1.5(3) “Authorization Release Form,” to secure authorization for relevant client information.

       1.5(4) “Administrative Release Form,” to request a “right to sue” letter.

       1.5(5) “Request for Withdrawal of Charge of Discrimination,” is used by the complainant to withdraw the charge of discrimination previously filed.

       1.5(6) “Amended complaint,” to amend the charge of discrimination previously filed.

       1.5(7) “Forms notebook.” Other forms commonly used by the commission or its staff are compiled within a “forms notebook.” The notebook is available for inspection by the public at the commission offices. Copies of the forms notebook can be obtained for an appropriate copying charge.

       1.5(8) “Purpose of forms.” The existence of standard forms is for the convenience of the commission, the public, and the parties. The existence of a standard form does not imply that the purpose of the standard form cannot be accomplished through a document in a different form.
