Operative Text
Within ten (10) calendar days of the date he receives the respondent's response, the complainant may file his reply to said response.

A party shall have the right to supplement his response or reply at any time that the investigation of the complaint is pending, prior to the final hearing.
Chicago Heights Ch. 23 Human Relations § 23-104 establishes a structured reply process within the human relations complaint procedure. After a respondent submits a response to a complaint, the complainant has ten calendar days to file a written reply, though doing so is optional. Additionally, either party may supplement their response or reply at any point while the investigation remains open and before a final hearing is held.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 23-104, a respondent in a Chicago Heights human relations complaint proceeding should be aware that the complainant has up to ten calendar days to reply to any response filed. Operators and property managers who receive a verified copy of such a reply should document its receipt and retain it as part of their records for the proceeding. Respondents also retain the right to supplement their own response at any time while the investigation is pending and before the final hearing.

Section § 23-104 gives complainants the option—but not the obligation—to file a reply to a respondent's response within ten calendar days of receiving it. If a reply is filed, the complainant must serve a verified copy on the respondent or their representative. Tenants involved in a Chicago Heights human relations complaint may also supplement their filings at any point during the investigation, and consulting a tenant-rights organization can help clarify how best to use these procedural opportunities.
