Libertyville Ch. 12 Human Rights § 12-67 establishes a multi-step enforcement process for unfair real estate practices. After completing proceedings under § 12-66, the Human Rights Commission may recommend that the Board of Trustees order violators to stop prohibited conduct and may further recommend that the corporation counsel pursue fines, court injunctions, license revocations, or contract terminations. The Board of Trustees then reviews those recommendations and decides what enforcement actions to authorize.

For Property Managers

Under § 12-67, property owners and managers found to have engaged in unfair real estate practices face a range of potential consequences, including cease-and-desist orders, civil fines under § 1-12, court-ordered injunctions, and possible referral to the state licensing authority for broker or salesperson license suspension or revocation. Operators who hold government contracts may also face contract termination proceedings. Compliant operators generally maintain fair housing policies, train staff on prohibited practices, and keep records that demonstrate adherence to the article's requirements.

For Tenants

Section 12-67 gives tenants and housing applicants a meaningful enforcement pathway when an unfair real estate practice has occurred. If the Human Rights Commission finds a violation after proceedings under § 12-66, it can recommend that the Board of Trustees direct the corporation counsel to seek court orders, fines, and other relief on behalf of those harmed. Individuals who believe their rights have been violated may consider filing a complaint with the commission, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring what remedies the Board of Trustees has authorized under this provision.
