Lynwood — Ch. 54 Human Relations § 54-62
It is unlawful to aid or abet performed in violation of this article.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 54-62 of Lynwood's Human Relations chapter establishes that assisting, encouraging, or facilitating another person's violation of the article's anti-discrimination provisions is itself a prohibited act. The rule extends liability beyond the primary actor to anyone who meaningfully contributes to a violation. This means that participation in a discriminatory act—even in a supporting role—can constitute an independent violation of Ch. 54.

For Property Managers

Under § 54-62, property owners and managers should be aware that directing, instructing, or knowingly assisting employees, agents, or contractors to carry out acts that violate Ch. 54 Human Relations can expose those parties—and potentially the owner—to liability as an aider or abettor. Compliant operators generally train staff on fair-housing obligations and avoid arrangements that could be construed as facilitating discriminatory conduct. Reviewing management agreements and agent instructions for consistency with Ch. 54 is a practice associated with ongoing compliance.

For Tenants

Section 54-62 means that a tenant who experiences discrimination is not limited to identifying only the primary wrongdoer—anyone who aided or abetted the violation may also be held accountable under Ch. 54 Human Relations. Tenants who believe a third party helped facilitate a discriminatory act against them may be able to raise that conduct as part of a complaint or legal proceeding. Local tenant-rights organizations or a fair-housing agency can help explain what options exist for pursuing a claim under this provision.
