Havana — Title 9 Ch. 9.12 Housing Discrimination § 9.12.060
Nothing herein contained shall prevent any person from exercising any right or seeking any remedy to which he might otherwise be entitled or from filing his complaint with any appropriate governmental agency.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 9.12.060 of Havana's Title 9, Chapter 9.12 is a savings clause, meaning it preserves all other legal rights and remedies that may exist outside of the local housing discrimination ordinance itself. A person who believes they have experienced housing discrimination is not limited to the remedies spelled out elsewhere in Chapter 9.12; they may also pursue any other avenue available to them under state, federal, or other applicable law. The provision also explicitly preserves the right to file a complaint with any appropriate governmental agency.

For Property Managers

Under § 9.12.060, property owners and managers should be aware that the local housing discrimination ordinance does not cap or replace the full range of legal exposure they may face. A person alleging a violation may simultaneously or alternatively pursue remedies through other governmental bodies or legal channels beyond those described in Chapter 9.12. Compliant operators generally maintain thorough records of their rental practices precisely because multiple enforcement avenues may be available to aggrieved parties.

For Tenants

Section 9.12.060 makes clear that your options are not limited to what is described elsewhere in Havana's Chapter 9.12 housing discrimination provisions. If you believe you have experienced housing discrimination, you may also file a complaint with other governmental agencies — such as a state civil rights body or a federal agency like the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development — or pursue other remedies available under broader law. Tenant-rights organizations can help you understand the range of avenues that may be open to you under this savings clause.
