Harwood Heights — Title 19 Fair Housing § 19.04.030
Severability
Operative Text
If any court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge any provision of this title to be invalid such judgment shall not affect any other provision of this title not specifically included in said judgment. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge invalid the application of any provision of this to any person or circumstance, such judgment shall not affect the application of said provision to any other person or circumstance not specifically included in said judgment.
Section 19.04.030 of Harwood Heights Title 19 Fair Housing establishes a severability rule, meaning that if a court strikes down any part of the title as invalid, the rest of the title remains in full force. Similarly, if a court finds that a provision cannot be applied to a particular person or situation, that ruling does not automatically invalidate the provision's application to anyone else. The rule is designed to preserve as much of the fair housing framework as possible even when individual pieces are successfully challenged.
