Applicability
Operative Text
The provisions of this article apply to all persons engaged in employment, real estate transactions, access to financial credit, and the availability of public accommodations within the city, except persons subject to article I of this chapter. HISTORY Adopted by Ord. O23-045 on 6/27/2023
Aurora's Article 22-II, Housing Discrimination § 22-15 establishes the scope of the city's anti-discrimination rules, covering employment, real estate transactions, access to financial credit, and public accommodations within Aurora's city limits. The article applies broadly to all persons engaged in those activities, with one carve-out: individuals or entities already subject to Article I of the same chapter are excluded from Article 22-II's reach. This provision, adopted in June 2023, sets the jurisdictional foundation for the rest of the article's requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 22-15, property owners and managers conducting real estate transactions within Aurora—including rental listings, lease signings, and related financial dealings—fall within the scope of Article 22-II's anti-discrimination requirements. Compliant operators generally confirm whether they are subject to Article I of the chapter, since that status determines which set of rules governs their conduct. Staying informed about the full scope of Article 22-II helps operators understand which obligations apply to their day-to-day activities.

Section 22-15 signals that renters and housing applicants in Aurora who experience discrimination in real estate transactions or access to financial credit may have protections under Article 22-II, provided the party they are dealing with is not already governed by Article I of the chapter. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred can document the relevant interactions and explore options such as filing a complaint with an appropriate local or state civil rights body, or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Aurora's ordinances. Understanding the scope defined in § 22-15 is a useful starting point for identifying which protections may apply.
