Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Maple Park § 6-6-11, property owners and managers who work with licensed brokers should be aware that a broker found in violation of the village's fair housing regulations can face state license suspension or revocation in addition to local penalties. Compliant operators generally maintain documented fair housing policies, train staff and affiliated brokers on the regulations, and keep records of transactions to demonstrate adherence. Fines of $50 to $750 per offense apply to any person found in violation, meaning each separate incident can generate its own penalty.
