Effingham — Ch. 17 Art. VI Fair Housing § 17-143
Repealer
Operative Text
All ordinances or parts thereof that conflict with the provisions of this article are to the extent of such conflict hereby repealed.
Section 17-143 of Effingham's Ch. 17 Art. VI Fair Housing establishes that any prior local ordinances — or portions of ordinances — that directly conflict with the fair housing rules set out in this article are superseded and no longer in effect to the degree of that conflict. This is a standard legal housekeeping provision that resolves contradictions between older local law and the current article. It does not create new rights or obligations on its own, but it clarifies which rules govern when a conflict exists.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 17-143, property owners and managers operating in Effingham should be aware that older local ordinances that contradict the fair housing requirements of Ch. 17 Art. VI are no longer operative to the extent of that conflict. Compliant operators generally rely on the current article's provisions rather than any superseded prior rules when establishing policies and practices. Reviewing current fair housing obligations under this article — rather than older local rules — reflects the standard approach to compliance.

Tenants who believe their fair housing rights have been affected by confusion over which local rules govern may find it useful to reference this repealer provision when raising a concern. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Effingham's local code can help clarify which rules are currently in effect under this article.
