Rushville — Ch. 29 Fair Housing Ordinance § 29-4
Penalty
Operative Text
Any person convicted of violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be punished by a fine of not less than $100.00 nor more than $1500.00. Each day a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation. This section shall in no way abrogate or impair the right of the City of Rushville to specifically enforce, by any legal means, any of the provisions of this chapter.
Rushville's Fair Housing Ordinance, under Ch. 29 § 29-4, establishes that anyone found guilty of violating the chapter's fair housing requirements faces a fine ranging from $100 to $1,500. Critically, each day that a violation persists is treated as a distinct, separate offense, meaning fines can accumulate over time. The ordinance also preserves the City of Rushville's authority to pursue additional legal remedies beyond monetary penalties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Rushville should be aware that Ch. 29 § 29-4 imposes daily fines between $100 and $1,500 for each violation of the Fair Housing Ordinance. Because every day of non-compliance counts as a separate violation, operators who promptly correct any identified fair housing issues generally limit their financial exposure. Compliant operators also keep records of corrective actions taken, since the City retains the right to pursue enforcement through other legal channels as well.

Under Rushville Ch. 29 § 29-4, tenants who believe they have experienced a fair housing violation may have grounds to report the matter to the City of Rushville, which holds enforcement authority including the ability to impose daily fines on violators. Because penalties accumulate for each day a violation continues, timely reporting can be relevant to how the situation is addressed. Tenants may also wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand the full range of options available under this chapter.
