Don't doubt that. I've never asked them myself. I do hang around the lawyers here at my current base and I know that they have recently been involved in telling an apartment complex that if they keep up a certain practice that they would be letting base housing know of the practice. They can't **officially** blackball anyone; but they can advise that certain places have had complaints against them. Of course they also say that in the end - it is up to the service member to now what they are getting into.
