Chicago Heights — Ch. 23 Human Relations § 23-63
It shall be unlawful to impose different sale prices or rental charges for the sale or rental of a dwelling upon any person because of race, color, religion, sex, physical or mental disability, familial status, marital status, national origin, or age.

Plain English

Section 23-63 of Chicago Heights' Human Relations chapter prohibits setting different sale prices or rental rates for a dwelling based on a person's race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, marital status, national origin, or age. The rule applies to both sales and rentals, meaning the price or rent offered must not vary because of any of those protected characteristics. This is a fair-housing provision aimed at ensuring equal access to housing regardless of personal identity or background.

For Property Managers

Under § 23-63, compliant operators in Chicago Heights apply consistent pricing criteria across all prospective buyers and renters, ensuring that the sale price or rental charge offered to one person is not higher or lower than what would be offered to a similarly situated person based on a protected characteristic. Operators generally document their pricing methodology — such as market-rate schedules or unit-specific factors — so that any variation in price can be explained by objective, non-discriminatory factors. Maintaining uniform written pricing policies and training staff on fair-housing obligations are practices commonly associated with compliance with this provision.

For Tenants

Section 23-63 gives renters and prospective buyers in Chicago Heights the right not to be quoted a different price or rent because of their race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, marital status, national origin, or age. If a tenant or applicant believes they were charged more — or offered less favorable terms — than others based on a protected characteristic, that potential violation of § 23-63 may be raised through a complaint with a local human relations commission or a fair-housing organization. Tenants can also consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand what documentation and enforcement paths may be available to them.
