Country Club Hills Ch. 19 Fair Housing § 19.6.01 requires real estate agents and operators or managers of multi-unit dwellings to display a specific fair housing notice in visible locations where prospective buyers, sellers, or renters typically inquire and where sale or rental terms are negotiated. The notice must be printed in at least 14-point type on a light-colored background and must state that discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin is prohibited. It also directs anyone who believes they have experienced discrimination to contact the City of Country Club Hills Community Relations Director.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 19.6.01, operators and managers of buildings with two or more units are generally expected to post the required fair housing notice in every location where prospective renters ask questions or where lease terms are discussed. The notice must meet specific formatting standards — at least 14-point type on a light-colored background — and must include the exact language prescribed by the ordinance, including the contact information for the Community Relations Director. Maintaining properly posted, legible notices in all qualifying areas of a place of business is a standard compliance practice under this provision.

Section § 19.6.01 of Country Club Hills' Fair Housing chapter establishes that you have a right to see a posted fair housing notice when inquiring about or negotiating a rental at a multi-unit property. If such a notice is absent, or if you believe you have experienced discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, the provision itself directs individuals to contact the City of Country Club Hills Community Relations Director at 798-2616.
