Plain English

Section 30-4 of South Chicago Heights Ch. 30 Fair Housing establishes a severability rule, meaning that if a court strikes down any part of the Fair Housing chapter—or its application to a particular person or situation—the rest of the chapter remains fully in effect. The invalidated portion is treated as severable from the whole, so one court ruling cannot unravel the entire ordinance. This is a standard structural provision designed to preserve as much of the law as possible after any successful legal challenge.

For Property Managers

Under § 30-4, property owners and managers should understand that even if a specific clause of the South Chicago Heights Fair Housing chapter were successfully challenged in court, the remaining obligations of the chapter would still apply. Compliant operators continue to follow all other provisions of Ch. 30 unless a court has specifically invalidated the exact provision at issue. Staying current with any court rulings affecting Ch. 30 is a general practice for operators subject to this ordinance.

For Tenants

Section 30-4 of Ch. 30 Fair Housing means that a court ruling invalidating one part of the ordinance does not strip away protections found in other parts of the chapter. Tenants who believe their fair housing rights have been violated can still look to the remaining, unaffected provisions of Ch. 30 for recourse. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with South Chicago Heights fair housing law can help identify which protections remain applicable in a given context.
