South Holland — Ch. 8.5 Housing § 8.5-58
Varying rents/sale price
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful to impose different sale prices or rental charges for the sale or rental of a dwelling upon any person because of race, color, religion, sex, physical or mental disability, familial status, marital status, national origin, or age.
South Holland Ch. 8.5 § 8.5-58 prohibits housing providers from charging different prices or rents based on protected characteristics such as race, religion, sex, disability, familial or marital status, national origin, or age. The rule treats discriminatory pricing in both sales and rentals as unlawful, regardless of whether the difference is framed as a discount or a surcharge. Every prospective buyer or renter is entitled to the same pricing terms as any other similarly situated person.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under South Holland Ch. 8.5 § 8.5-58, compliant operators apply uniform pricing criteria across all applicants and do not adjust asking rents or sale prices based on a prospective resident's membership in any protected class. Operators generally document their pricing methodology so that consistent, non-discriminatory rates can be demonstrated if a question arises. Training leasing staff on fair-housing pricing obligations is a common practice for maintaining compliance with this provision.

South Holland Ch. 8.5 § 8.5-58 gives renters and buyers the right to be quoted the same price as any other similarly situated person, free from adjustments tied to race, religion, sex, disability, familial or marital status, national origin, or age. If you believe you were quoted a different price for discriminatory reasons, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with a local fair-housing agency or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or reaching out to a tenant-rights or fair-housing organization for guidance. Keeping records of any pricing communications you received can be useful when pursuing any of these avenues.
