The Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act protects consumers from fraud and abuse when buying or leasing land from developers. If you believe your rights have been violated, you can file a complaint by writing to HUD. In your letter, be sure to include:

  • A description of your problem;
  • The name and address of the developer;
  • The name of the salesperson;
  • The date of your purchase;
  • The name of the subdivision;
  • The lot number; and
  • Copies (don’t send originals!) of sales documents or other related information.

Also, be sure to let us know whether or not you got a Property Report when you bought the land.

Send your complaint to:

    Interstate Land Sales/RESPA Division
    Room 9146
    Department of Housing and Urban Development
    451 7th Street SW
    Washington, DC 20410
