Plain English

Section 5.48.040 of Ladd's housing discrimination ordinance establishes criminal penalties for violations of Chapter 5.48, which governs discrimination in housing and real property. A person convicted of a violation may be fined between $100 and $1,500, and each day a violation persists is treated as a distinct, separate offense. The provision also preserves the Village of Ladd's authority to pursue any other legal remedies available to enforce the chapter's requirements.
