Plain English

Volo Title 6 Ch. 5 Discrimination in Housing § 6-5-4 establishes the penalty framework for housing discrimination violations within the chapter. Anyone convicted of violating the chapter's provisions faces penalties set out in Section 1-4-1 of the Village Code, and each day a violation persists is treated as a distinct, separate offense. The Village also retains the authority to pursue enforcement through any available legal means, independent of the criminal penalty process.

For Property Managers

Under § 6-5-4, property owners and managers who fail to comply with Volo's housing discrimination chapter face penalties that reset and accumulate on a daily basis, meaning a prolonged violation can multiply the total exposure significantly. Compliant operators generally act promptly to correct any identified violation rather than allowing it to continue, since each additional day triggers a new, independent penalty under Section 1-4-1 of the Village Code. The Village's preserved right to pursue legal enforcement through other channels means that penalties and civil or injunctive remedies can potentially run concurrently.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Section § 6-5-4 of Volo's housing discrimination chapter gives the Village broad authority to penalize landlords for each day a discriminatory practice continues, which can serve as a meaningful deterrent against ongoing violations. Tenants who believe they have experienced housing discrimination prohibited by this chapter may report the conduct to Village authorities, who can pursue enforcement under this provision and Section 1-4-1 of the Village Code. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service can help individuals understand what documentation to gather and what local or state complaint processes may be available alongside the Village's own enforcement authority.
