In the case of any unlawful real estate practice or violation of these regulations by any person in the course of performing under a contract or subcontract with the state or any political subdivision or agency thereof, or with the United States of America, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, to petition or institute proceedings with such contracting agency for the purpose of causing it to terminate such contract or any portion thereof, either absolutely or on condition of compliance with the provisions of these regulations.

D. Injunctive relief. If, during the course of any proceedings prescribed herein, the board, on the basis of the evidence before it, concludes that a violation of these regulations is imminent, it may relay such evidence to the board of trustees, together with its recommendation that the village attorney be instructed to seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prohibit such violation.
Maple Park Title 6 Ch. 6 Fair Housing § 6-6-9 establishes the enforcement tools available after a fair housing proceeding concludes. Following a hearing, the board may recommend that the board of trustees issue cease-and-desist orders, direct the village attorney to pursue fines or court-ordered relief, seek license revocation for real estate professionals, or move to terminate government contracts held by violators. If a violation appears imminent during proceedings, the board may also recommend that the village attorney seek emergency injunctive relief in court.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Maple Park should be aware that § 6-6-9 gives the board significant post-hearing authority, including the ability to recommend cease-and-desist orders and referral to the village attorney for court action or professional license proceedings. Operators who are found to have engaged in unfair real estate practices may face fines under § 6-6-11, court-ordered restraints, or — if they hold a real estate license — potential suspension or revocation proceedings with Illinois licensing authorities. Compliant operators generally maintain documented, consistent, and non-discriminatory practices across all transactions to reduce exposure to these enforcement pathways.
