South Holland Ch. 8.5 Housing § 8.5-60 makes it unlawful to evict a tenant on the basis of protected characteristics, including race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, marital status, national origin, or age. This prohibition extends not only to the tenant's own characteristics but also to those of the tenant's guests. The rule reflects a broad anti-discrimination principle applied specifically to the eviction context.

For Property Managers

Under South Holland Ch. 8.5 Housing § 8.5-60, compliant property operators ensure that any eviction action is grounded solely in legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons such as lease violations or nonpayment of rent. Operators generally document the factual basis for any eviction proceeding to demonstrate that protected characteristics of the tenant or their guests played no role in the decision. Maintaining consistent eviction policies applied uniformly across all tenants is a hallmark of lawful practice under this provision.

For Tenants

South Holland Ch. 8.5 Housing § 8.5-60 gives tenants the right to be free from eviction motivated by protected characteristics such as race, disability, national origin, or the characteristics of their guests. If a tenant believes an eviction is being pursued for discriminatory reasons, that belief may be raised as a defense in eviction proceedings or as the basis for a complaint with a relevant fair housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help individuals understand what options may be available under this provision.
