South Holland — Ch. 8.5 Housing § 8.5-52
Discriminatory terms
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful to discriminate against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling, or in the provision of services or facilities in connection therewith, because of race, color, religion, sex, physical or mental disability, familial status, marital status, national origin, or age.
South Holland Ch. 8.5 Housing § 8.5-52 makes it unlawful to treat people differently in the terms, conditions, or privileges of renting or selling a dwelling—or in the services and facilities connected to it—based on characteristics such as race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, marital status, national origin, or age. The rule applies at every stage where conditions of housing are set or delivered, not just at the point of initial rental or sale. It reflects a broad prohibition on discriminatory treatment across the full range of housing-related interactions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under South Holland Ch. 8.5 Housing § 8.5-52, operators who comply with this provision apply consistent, neutral criteria when setting lease terms, pricing, rules, and access to services and facilities for all residents and applicants. Compliant operators document their policies and apply them uniformly regardless of a prospective or current tenant's race, religion, disability, familial status, marital status, national origin, age, sex, or color. Maintaining written, standardized procedures helps demonstrate that housing decisions are based on legitimate, non-discriminatory factors.

South Holland Ch. 8.5 Housing § 8.5-52 gives residents and applicants the right to be free from discriminatory treatment in rental terms, conditions, privileges, and related services or facilities. If a tenant believes they have been treated differently because of a protected characteristic, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with a local fair housing authority, contacting a tenant-rights or fair housing organization, or raising the violation as a defense in a relevant legal proceeding. Federal fair housing agencies such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development also accept complaints related to housing discrimination.
