Refusal of offers
Operative Text

Libertyville Ch. 12 Human Rights § 12-48 establishes that refusing to receive or failing to pass along a genuine offer to buy, sell, exchange, or lease real property—on the basis of the offeror's race, color, religion, or national origin—is an unlawful real estate practice. The rule applies to real estate agents and any other person involved in such transactions. It is designed to ensure that all bona fide offers reach their intended recipients regardless of the offeror's background.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Libertyville Ch. 12 Human Rights § 12-48, property owners and their agents are expected to ensure that every genuine offer to purchase, sell, exchange, or lease real property is received and transmitted without regard to the offeror's race, color, religion, or national origin. Compliant operators typically maintain consistent procedures for handling all offers and document the receipt and transmission of each one. Working with agents who are trained on fair housing obligations helps support compliance with this provision.

Libertyville Ch. 12 Human Rights § 12-48 protects prospective buyers, sellers, and renters from having their bona fide offers suppressed or ignored because of their race, color, religion, or national origin. If someone believes an offer they made was not received or forwarded for a discriminatory reason, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the relevant local human rights or fair housing authority, or consulting a tenant- or housing-rights organization familiar with Libertyville's ordinances. Keeping records of submitted offers and any communications related to them can be relevant when pursuing such paths.
