La Grange — Title VII Ch. 14 Fair Housing § 7-14-110
Solicitation
Operative Text
It is unlawful to Solicit any Owner to sell or Rent or list residential property at any time after such Person has notice that such Owner does not desire to sell, Rent, or list such residential property. For the purposes of 7-14-110 , notice must be provided as follows: (1) The notice may be given by the Owner personally or by a third party in the Owner's name, either in the form of an individual notice or a list, provided it complies with 7-14-110 (2). (2) Such notice shall be explicit as to whether each Owner on the notice seeks to avoid both Solicitation for listing and sale, or only for listing, or only for sale, as well as the period of time for which any avoidance is desired. The notice shall be dated and either of the following shall apply: a. Each Owner shall have signed the notice; or b. The Person or entity preparing the notice shall provide an accompanying affidavit to the effect that all the names on the notice are, in fact, genuine as to the identity of the Persons listed and that such Persons have requested not to be Solicited as indicated. (3) The individual notice or notice in the form of a list with the accompanying affidavit shall be served personally or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
La Grange § 7-14-110 prohibits anyone from soliciting a property owner to sell, rent, or list residential property once that owner has formally communicated a desire not to be solicited. The rule sets out specific procedural requirements for how that notice must be given — including that it be explicit about the type of solicitation to be avoided, dated, signed or accompanied by an affidavit, and delivered personally or by certified or registered mail. The provision is part of La Grange's Fair Housing framework and is designed to protect owners from unwanted real estate solicitation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 7-14-110, property owners and managers who receive a properly formatted opt-out notice — one that is dated, specifies the type of solicitation to be avoided, and is delivered by certified mail or in person — are expected to cease the identified solicitation activity for the period stated in the notice. Compliant operators typically maintain records of received opt-out notices and train staff or agents to cross-reference those records before initiating any outreach. Continuing to solicit an owner after receiving valid notice under § 7-14-110 constitutes an unlawful act under La Grange's Fair Housing ordinance.

While § 7-14-110 primarily addresses the rights of property owners to opt out of real estate solicitation, tenants and residents in La Grange benefit from the broader Fair Housing protections of Title VII, Chapter 14, of which this provision is a part. Owners who believe their opt-out rights under § 7-14-110 have been violated may consider contacting the La Grange municipal authorities responsible for Fair Housing enforcement or consulting a tenant-rights or housing-rights organization familiar with local ordinances. Understanding how opt-out protections work can also help residents recognize when solicitation practices in their community may conflict with local fair housing rules.
