Maple Park — Title 6 Ch. 6 Fair Housing § 6-6-7
Order to cease and desist unfair practice
Operative Text
If, upon all the evidence at the hearing, the board finds that the person charged has engaged in, or is engaging in, an unfair housing practice as defined in this chapter, the board shall state its findings of fact and shall issue and cause to be served upon such person an order requiring such person to cease and desist from such unfair housing practice, and to take such affirmative or other action as, in the judgment of the board, will effectuate the purposes of these regulations including a requirement of a report of the manner of compliance. The board shall retain jurisdiction of the case until it is satisfied that the person has complied with the order.
Under Maple Park Title 6 Ch. 6 Fair Housing § 6-6-7, when the board concludes after a hearing that a person has committed or is committing an unfair housing practice, it must document its factual findings and issue a cease-and-desist order against that person. The order can require not just that the unlawful conduct stop, but also that the person take positive corrective steps the board deems necessary to fulfill the regulation's purposes. The board keeps the case open and under its supervision until it is satisfied that the ordered party has fully complied.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Maple Park Title 6 Ch. 6 Fair Housing § 6-6-7 means that a property owner or manager found to have engaged in an unfair housing practice faces a formal board order to stop that conduct immediately. Compliant operators generally maintain clear, documented fair-housing policies and practices so that, if a hearing ever occurs, the record reflects consistent lawful conduct. If an order is issued, operators are expected to fulfill any affirmative remediation steps the board specifies and to submit compliance reports as directed, since the board retains jurisdiction until it is satisfied.
