Plain English

Under Naperville Title 12 Human Rights and Fair Housing § 12-6-3, fair housing hearings are designed to move forward quickly and at minimal cost while still protecting each party's right to a fair proceeding and a complete record. Once a reasonable grounds determination has been made, the administrative law judge or hearing officer is expected to begin the hearing within 120 days. If that timeline cannot be met, all parties — the Commission, the complainant, and the respondent — must be notified in writing explaining the delay.

For Property Managers

As a respondent in a fair housing proceeding under § 12-6-3, property owners and managers can generally expect a hearing to be scheduled within 120 days of a reasonable grounds determination. Operators familiar with this timeline typically keep documentation and records organized so they can respond promptly if a hearing is scheduled. If the 120-day window cannot be met, the hearing officer is required to provide written notice explaining the reasons for any delay.
