When you file a complaint in court, you must be able to tell the court who the complaint is against. Most of the time, this will be easy. If the landlord has violated the law, you will want to file a complaint against the landlord.

However, sometimes the owner and the manager of your apartment are not the same, so it is not clear who the landlord actually is. If you have been dealing with a private management company and have never met the owner or do not know who the owner is, you can file a complaint against the management company. Although it is not absolutely necessary, if a management company is involved, it is best to file a complaint against both the management company and the owner.
