Hinckley — Ch. 38 Human Relations § 38-40
Nothing contained in this article shall prevent any person from exercising any right or seeking any remedy to which he might otherwise be entitled or from filing his complaint with any appropriate governmental agency.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 38-40 of Hinckley's Human Relations chapter makes clear that the remedies and rights established within the article are not exclusive. A person retains any other legal rights or remedies they may have under other laws, and they remain free to file complaints with any appropriate governmental agency. This provision functions as a savings clause, ensuring the article does not inadvertently limit pre-existing legal options.

For Property Managers

Under Hinckley Ch. 38 § 38-40, property owners and managers should understand that compliance with the Human Relations article does not shield them from liability under other applicable laws or regulations. A compliant operator remains aware that tenants or other parties may simultaneously or alternatively pursue remedies through other legal channels or governmental bodies. Operators generally maintain records and practices that reflect compliance across all applicable frameworks, not just this article.

For Tenants

Section 38-40 of Hinckley's Human Relations chapter preserves your ability to pursue rights and remedies beyond those specifically described in the article. This means that filing a complaint under this article does not foreclose filing a complaint with another appropriate governmental agency or pursuing other legal avenues that may apply to your situation. Tenant-rights organizations can help identify which combination of remedies and agencies may be relevant to a given set of circumstances.
