(3) Listings. No person shall deliberately and knowingly refuse examination of any listing of residential real property within the Village to any individual because of unlawful discrimination. (4) Representations. No person shall deliberately and knowingly represent to an individual that residential real property is not available for inspection, sale, rental, or lease in the Village when in fact it is available, or fail to bring a residential real estate listing in the Village to an individual's attention, or refuse to permit a person to inspect residential real property in the Village because of unlawful discrimination. (5) Blockbusting.

(6) Encouragement of blockbusting.

(7) Creating alarm. No person shall intentionally create alarm among residents of any community within the Village by transmitting communications in any manner, including a telephone call whether or not conversation thereby ensues, with a design to induce any person within the Village to sell or lease his or her residential real property within the Village because of the present or prospective entry into the vicinity of the property of any individual or individuals of any particular race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge status, source of income, or housing status.
Glenview Ch. 18 Art. XVIII § 18-1052 prohibits any person from engaging in discriminatory real estate practices within the Village. This covers a broad range of conduct, including applying different terms or conditions to transactions, publishing discriminatory communications, withholding listings or misrepresenting availability, and engaging in blockbusting tactics that exploit fears about neighborhood demographic change. The provision applies to all stages of a real estate transaction — from initial listing and advertising through to renewal — and covers a wide array of protected characteristics including race, religion, sexual orientation, source of income, and housing status.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Glenview § 18-1052, operators who are compliant with this provision apply uniform terms, conditions, and pricing to all prospective and current tenants or buyers regardless of any protected characteristic. Compliant operators ensure that all listings are made available for examination without restriction, that availability is accurately represented to all inquirers, and that advertising and communications contain no language that signals a preference or limitation based on protected status. Operators also avoid any solicitation or communication designed to exploit concerns about neighborhood demographic change, which the provision explicitly identifies as blockbusting.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Glenview § 18-1052 establishes that tenants and prospective tenants have the right to be free from discriminatory treatment in any aspect of a real estate transaction, including being shown listings, receiving accurate availability information, and being offered the same terms as similarly situated individuals. If a person believes they have experienced a violation of this provision — such as being told a unit is unavailable when it is not, or receiving communications that reflect unlawful discrimination — general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with a local or state fair housing agency or consulting a tenant-rights or fair housing organization. Federal fair housing protections may also apply, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development accepts complaints related to housing discrimination.
