South Chicago Heights — Ch. 30 Fair Housing § 30-29
Listings
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful to enter into a listing agreement which discriminates against any person because of factors set forth in section 30-2 .
Section 30-29 of South Chicago Heights Ch. 30 Fair Housing makes it unlawful to enter into a listing agreement that discriminates against any person on the basis of the protected characteristics defined in § 30-2. This means that the terms, conditions, or existence of a listing arrangement cannot be shaped by those protected factors. The rule applies at the point of forming the listing relationship itself, not only at later stages of a real estate transaction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 30-29, property owners and managers who work with listing agents or brokers are expected to ensure that any listing agreement they enter into does not exclude, limit, or otherwise treat people differently based on the protected characteristics enumerated in § 30-2. Compliant operators typically review listing agreements to confirm that the scope of marketing, the pool of prospective tenants or buyers to be solicited, and any conditions attached to the listing are neutral with respect to those protected factors. Maintaining documentation that listing practices are applied uniformly can support a showing of compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 30-29 gives individuals a basis to challenge a listing agreement that was structured in a way that discriminated against them because of a characteristic protected under § 30-2. If someone believes a listing arrangement excluded or disadvantaged them on a protected basis, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the applicable local fair housing authority, raising the violation through South Chicago Heights' Ch. 30 Fair Housing process, or contacting a tenant-rights or fair-housing organization for guidance on available options.
