I think he is referring to when a person makes a complaint, then they get certain legal protection against retaliation or that of a person presented with rights:

For example, when a person makes a harassment complaint they have the right for the situation to be investigated. If LL does nothing then LL is violating the law...?

Yes, you are right. You can not retaliate against the person complaining, you also don't have to renew their lease. If you think this person is lying, I would do a meeting with all three of you let this tenant address the family member directly. This way you have delt with the situation as directly as possible, you don't have to worry about being man in the middle with the family member, and until this person is reporting the harrassment (if it exists) you can't really do anything else anyway. Keeping records of communication is crucial, anything that you said to the tenants verbally should also be emailed to them to keep a record of it.
