Plain English

Belvidere Ch. 62 § 62-38 establishes that anyone harmed by an unlawful discriminatory practice covered by this article retains access to whatever legal remedies are available under applicable law. The provision also makes clear that the article does not limit or replace any other rights, remedies, or complaint avenues a person may already have. In other words, the protections here are additive — they do not foreclose other legal or administrative options.

For Property Managers

Under Belvidere Ch. 62 § 62-38, property owners and managers should understand that aggrieved parties are not limited to a single enforcement path when an unlawful practice is alleged. Compliant operators generally maintain clear, documented fair-housing policies precisely because affected individuals may pursue remedies through multiple channels simultaneously — including governmental agencies — without waiving any rights. Awareness of this cumulative-remedy structure is a standard part of responsible housing management in Belvidere.

For Tenants

Belvidere Ch. 62 § 62-38 preserves your ability to pursue any remedy available to you under law if you believe you have been subjected to an unlawful practice under this article. The provision explicitly protects your right to file a complaint with any appropriate governmental agency in addition to — or instead of — other legal avenues. Tenant-rights organizations can help identify which agencies or forums may be relevant to a particular type of housing discrimination concern.
