East Hazel Crest — Ch. 6 Art. VIII Registration of Multiple Dwellings § 6-150
Severability
Operative Text
If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or word of this article shall be held to be invalid, either on its face or as applied, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the other sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or words of this article, and the applications thereof; and to that end the sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and words of this article shall be deemed severable.
Section 6-150 of East Hazel Crest's Ch. 6 Art. VIII establishes a standard severability rule: if any individual part of the article—whether a section, subsection, sentence, clause, or word—is found legally invalid, that finding does not bring down the rest of the article. Each component of the article is treated as legally independent, so the remaining provisions continue to operate as written. This is a structural rule about how the article holds together legally, not a rule that directly governs landlord or tenant conduct.
Plain English — not legal advice.
For property owners and managers subject to Ch. 6 Art. VIII's registration requirements, § 6-150 means that a successful legal challenge to one part of the article does not automatically void the obligations created by other parts. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all remaining registration requirements even if a specific provision is contested or struck down. Understanding this severability framework helps operators recognize that their compliance obligations under the article may persist even when portions of it are under legal scrutiny.

Section 6-150 of Ch. 6 Art. VIII protects tenants indirectly by ensuring that the article's protections remain intact even if one provision is invalidated by a court. If a landlord argues that a legal challenge to one part of the article eliminates other tenant protections, this severability clause provides a basis for contesting that argument. Tenants who have questions about how a legal challenge to the article might affect their rights can consult a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
