La Grange — Title VII Ch. 14 Fair Housing § 7-14-75
Listings
Operative Text
It is unlawful to enter into a listing agreement which Discriminates against any Person because of race, color, Religion, Sex, sexual preference or orientation, Physical or Mental Disability, Familial Status, or National Origin.
Under La Grange Title VII Ch. 14 Fair Housing § 7-14-75, listing agreements for real property may not treat people differently based on characteristics such as race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, familial status, or national origin. The rule makes it a violation of local law to enter into any such agreement that singles out or excludes individuals on those grounds. This applies to the agreement itself, not just the conduct that follows from it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under § 7-14-75 generally ensure that any listing agreement they sign with a real estate broker or agent contains no language that steers, excludes, or differentiates based on protected characteristics. Compliant operators review listing contracts before execution to confirm that marketing terms and conditions apply uniformly to all prospective tenants or buyers. Keeping records of listing agreements can help demonstrate that the terms were applied consistently and without discriminatory intent.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 7-14-75 of La Grange's Fair Housing ordinance gives individuals the right to be free from discrimination embedded in listing agreements, meaning a property should not be marketed in a way that excludes you based on race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, familial status, or national origin. If you believe a listing agreement was structured to discriminate against you, that potential violation may be raised through a fair housing complaint process at the local or state level. Tenant-rights organizations and fair housing advocacy groups can help you understand what documentation may be relevant and what complaint avenues are available.
