Rochelle — Ch. 58 Human Relations § 58-36
Nothing contained in this article 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 58-36 of Rochelle's Chapter 58 Human Relations article makes clear that the remedies and procedures established within the article are not the only options available to individuals who believe their rights have been violated. A person may simultaneously or alternatively pursue other legal rights, remedies, or governmental complaint processes that exist outside of this article. The provision preserves the full range of options that would otherwise be available under other laws or regulations.

Plain English — not legal advice.

For Property Managers

Under § 58-36, property owners and managers should be aware that a complainant is not limited to the processes outlined in Rochelle's Human Relations article. A person alleging a violation may pursue multiple avenues at once, including filing with other governmental agencies, meaning a single incident could give rise to parallel proceedings. Operators who maintain thorough records and consistent fair-housing practices are generally better positioned to respond across multiple forums.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Section 58-36 affirms that using the remedies within Rochelle's Human Relations article does not foreclose other options that may be available to you. A tenant who believes their rights have been violated may also file a complaint with an appropriate governmental agency—such as a state civil rights body or a federal agency—in addition to or instead of pursuing remedies under this article. Tenant-rights organizations can help identify which forums and remedies may be relevant to a given situation.
