La Grange — Title VII Ch. 14 Fair Housing § 7-14-100
Aiding and Abetting
Operative Text
It is unlawful to aid or abet acts performed in violation of this chapter.
Section 7-14-100 of La Grange's Fair Housing chapter establishes that assisting, encouraging, or facilitating another person's discriminatory housing act is itself a violation of the law. The rule extends liability beyond the primary actor to anyone who plays a supporting role in a prohibited act. This means the prohibition on discriminatory conduct applies not only to those who directly commit a violation but also to those who help make it possible.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 7-14-100, property owners and managers who operate in La Grange should be aware that instructing, directing, or assisting employees, agents, or contractors to carry out discriminatory housing practices can expose the operator to liability independent of the direct actor. Compliant operators generally train staff and agents on fair housing obligations and avoid arrangements that could be construed as facilitating a violation by another party. Reviewing business relationships and internal policies with an eye toward this provision is a common practice among operators seeking to stay within the bounds of La Grange's Fair Housing chapter.

Section 7-14-100 means that if a tenant believes they were harmed by a discriminatory housing practice, they may have recourse not only against the person who directly acted but also against anyone who aided or abetted that conduct. Tenants who believe this provision has been violated can explore options such as filing a complaint with the appropriate local or state fair housing authority, or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with La Grange's Title VII, Chapter 14. Understanding the full scope of who may be held responsible under § 7-14-100 can be an important part of evaluating available remedies.
